I’m miles from where you are
November 1st, 2006I ran some errands for awhile this afternoon and discovered a good fabric store in the underground about four minutes from my work. Woo! I bought a few things to make earrings and put them together when I got home & uploaded them to Etsy.
Penguins, as well as sailboats and some bluegray shell earrings.
I also spied these backpacks in a luggage store window while I was down there, and of course I want the little one:
I’ve never listened to this Snow Patrol band, but I downloaded this song because Rufus Wainwright’s sister sings on it. At least I think it’s his sister, but maybe I’m making that up. It’s so pretty. Now I want the rest of the album.
I find the map and draw a straight line
over rivers, farms, and state lines
the distance from A to where you’d B
it’s only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I’d find your face
my fingers in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
there is no peace that I’ve felt so far…
listening: Snow Patrol – Set the Fire to the Third Bar
