white oleander


im reading the novel by janet fitch.

every page is another memory of myself.

i have felt that kind of loss and sorrow and pain.

i read until i cry, and i try not to read any farther, but i can't help it.

i feel like if i can jump into the book and love Astrid i will be healed.




so far there is no healing, only half sticky banages that keep falling off, and a singing voice i used to have purloined by cigarettes and sadness.
