"THERE IS NO BETTER ADVICE THAN THE ADVICE
TIME GIVES YOU." IVETH MOTIEL...COPYRIGHT 2010 WRITE AROUND PORTLAND ********************************************************* see the girl, not-the-girl wearing the red harem pants and her slender waist bending notice her tentatively smiling sharing her thoughts as she moves her small hands waving them about expressively notice her curly bottle- blonde fragility her hip bones lean flung forward proudly her laughter as it cascades up and down the scale if you could speak to her how would you advise her don't stay. leave while you still can. you need to study tomorrow. the stars can wait for another night. see how time is now a narrow opening in a needle how the mind too readily slips through that hole back and forth indecisive its not so important to be noticed or listened to wait on love and the possibility of touch there's no expiration date yet there's games stratagems you mother/father never taught you and threads move in the direction of the eye of the needle and how 30 some years later you/I still unthread that needle thinking its a way to unravel the stitches which are still left inside of me holding me together so the secret inside of me won't fall out nor cave inward.
