Honorable Mention As I Contemplate Solitude Don Schaeffer The inside was always warm and full of happy visions but the outside had me fearing abandonment when I was young. I suppose that's how it is in my family, the cold looms just beyond the warmth. Now that my family is a shadow, the cold seeps into buildings that are supposed to protect me, now as I contemplate solitude. From the world of the fearful I watched a woman stand like a taut string, as the outside whirled around her, chewing gum, repelling all the sad spirits. I watched her longingly. She must have been the favorite of her dad. |
