the water gushing off my roof looks like it's raining, the workshoes thumping on my roof make thunder, the smoke on the horizon looks of storm clouds, the ashes are snow...
winter is the burning season.
this close to the sugarcane fields, you can smell them burning. sweet and smokey.
the ashes are carried by the heat of them burning, and dispersed by the diurnal wind patterns. during the day, they fall to the west. at nite, to the east. or vice versa, i can't remember.
either way, in the morning, pieces of burned sugar cane fall on the cars, the houses and coat them - it's snow in 70° weather.
the horizon is filled with the smoke, mostly a fine gray haze, but here and there you can see dark, slanting pillars rising to the heavens.
this is all very symbolic....but i can't figure it out.

re:your comment - you seem to misunderstand my sentiment; I take the position of your k in the relationship in question, and this is what's causing me a lot of pain. At any rate, I'm glad that you have that part of your life resolved.

I've seen your comments around Xanga lately and was led here by the siren song of your "voice"

Hahaha. Scrunching your hair....it's when you have damp hair, put some gel in it and just...scrunch it in...so that it turns into ringlets, and wavy curls...believe me you've seen it. You grab the ends of your hair and squeeze up.....
You dig?

Hi, I spent much of last night catching up on reading my SIR list. I know I saw your comments on more than one site. The one that I visited immediately before I surfed over here was dreaminofyou.
Are you in Louisiana? This is the only place I've ever seen sugar cane fields being burned. Not that it's not done other places, I've just never *seen* it. So in my scope of experience, you must be in Louisiana. Beautiful imagery.
now i want sugar-snow!
Nice pic....just doing a drive by eProping.
I could stare at that pic for hours. It's calming to me.
Love the new look.
*Hands you a mai-tai*
Pass the sunscreen please!
My mom would tell me stories about burning the rice fields in Arkansas.. I have seen a few fields burning before.. but never as many as she described.. still it was a pretty amazing site..
Lovely blog!
Very very very nice. Makes my xanga look like a piece of poo on a shoe (hey that rhymed...maybe I should take up poetry).
Thanks for your pity upon my blog. Hahaha. Take care!
