plethoric with words too heavy to crawl across her skin at night.
'I have become imbued with symbolic meaning,' she cried,
'Hark! I am but a hastily-drawn portrait of the human condition -'
And the moon offered no comfort, for it was truth
life had endowed her the fragility of human spirit
and left her weeping in despair, if that:
glass bones and cobwebbed hair
left her esoteric (understood by few)
with only feathered friends (who flew away anyway).
And time was wasted so eloquently;
the sun was silk
the night was velvet
so she spun dresses of both, and swallowed the needle
to disappear completely.

It has been almost a month since I've last written (a meticulously planned return) and so I feel I should offer you all some beautiful explanation for my absence. But the truth can never be so eloquently phrased; I have simply been overcome by life and menial duties - so forgive me, I've missed you!
Senior Year has been exciting/exhausting, and each day I am filled with fondness for my education so far. (I understand this is quite a dorky confession, but it is true nonetheless, and I solemnly swear to be truthful here!) My days have been filled with school and academics, local festivals and loved ones' celebrations.
But I have returned, if only briefly - I am weary of making promises, for experience has left me jaded - to send you my love and thank you for being such wonderful creatures (how you all found me/still read this, I don't know!)
Love, always,
x
