Upside Down and Dreaming

There, can you hear it?And your mother said that they are prayers--  sung one word at a time in sounds that whispers outroar because sweetheart,  you could use a few more talks with God, she says, wondering if you’re already too far  
from earth.  And you lie on your mattress, like still water, listening to your veins and you hear  the flutter of butterfly wings after each beat.  
 
 
And your doctor said that they are mistakes—soft,  wrong notes where they shouldn’t be, thudding like paper drums, confused and  persistent. You hold that stainless, sterile stethoscope with five of your never-warm- There, can you hear it?

This is whyHe and I lived separately together—  holed ourselves up in a ramshackle haven where he and I  barely brushed glances.  Maybe there were termites in the foundations,  or a roof that spat rain into broken pots on the floor.  
Maybe I was tired of tossing myself into closets  just because his cautious footsteps would echo my way, tired of feeling  like a shirt I didn’t care enough about to hang  
or fold.  
Maybe I was too satisfied with his and my distanced shadows,  too afraid of what would happen if their penumbras touched  again.

 He sat and thought about much he despised spelling  When a voice crept into his hearing, sweet, rough and very compelling.  “I am the monster under your mattress,” it seemed to shout,  “You’re trapped by this awful test but I know your way out.  I’ll eat the papers, pencils, pens and desks,” the monster said.  “Without the tools for the evaluation, you’ll have liberation!  Just let me out f A Monster Appetite

Happy January!

Tue Jan 6, 2009, 8:49 PM
  • Mood: Love
  • Listening to: Brooklyn Blues, The Postal Service
  • Reading: um...a lot...
College applications are ALMOST done and I'm finally starting to do what I love.
I've checked out a TON of books on China (I'M GOING TO CHINA IN FEBRUARY WITH MY SCHOOL!!!) and I'm already a hundred pages into Red Azaelea which is turning out to be really lovely.

I'm also simultaneously reading Beloved and Atonement, (I'm a dysfunctional reader...) and I'm loving it.

And I'M WRITING. Which is probably the best part of my day. I'm going to upload this fun contemplation that I wrote for one of my literature classes because I'm proud of it and I have a FANTASTIC idea for a new story about my dad. And vampires. If everything goes according to plan, it'll be funny.

Finally, FINALLY I am coming to terms with Alexandra. My real name that I have always abhorred. But seeing it at the end of a piece of writing that I'm proud of and on my college applications makes me...happy. Alexandra Solmaz Sharabianlou sounds like an enchantment; something magical and cherished and strong. Just as well, I feel like I deserve to be Alexandra, which means protector of the small/mankind because my dream is to become a child therapist or someone who cares for kids. Now I'm fulfilling that mantle.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Alexandra Solmaz Sharabianlou to the stage.
