As the ripples emanate from my fingertips,
the fragrant stars waver,
as my thoughts.
Mists over the calm water darkness rise.
I lean farther to sift them through my fingers.
My limbs ache for the cool liquid to surround
but I still obey, ease toes in- legs dangling.
Safe from the infinite current.
Sailing away on this firmly anchored dock.
It is only the water moving by naked calves-
I know.
Yet I'm traveling- some direction infinitely now.
Down? Sinking as my shell floats unaware?
Drowning must resemble this thumping urge
of helplessness.
My surroundings no different than the pounding
warm, red liquid in my temples.
My surroundings are clotting suddenly
and I give in...

About Me
- Pixie Vixen
- So much of the following is no longer true. Although some of it is. And more will probably be changing soon. I just don't have the heart to change it yet: I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Literature and extensive coursework in Computer Engineering. I'm a lover of animals, art, music, culture and language. Because of my love for music, I joined the Detroit Concert Choir and competed in the Llangollen Festival in North Wales! I want to find a way to change the world, albeit cheesy, and I hope that my love of architecture and the environment can symbiotically lead me in new directions in life. I am an avid beer drinker and travel to some of the best beer fests in the U.S. – none internationally – yet. I spend my free time (what free time??) dancing, singing and taking art, drafting, photography and architecture classes at Lawrence Tech. My husband and I live in Ferndale, Michigan, one of the hippest, yet most conscientious cities around.
