Jaded

Her eyes resembled a panda.  They were sunken deep into her flesh.  The lids were weary, leaving a small gap in between.  The caffeine from the coffee left her awake.  She closed her eyes to compose her restless body, laying down on a bed of roses.


Roses.  They were full of thorns.

Her wandering souls were unrest.  She tossed and turned.   There were no comfort zones.  Rest, oh my weary souls.  Rest.

  1. A sprig of dried rosemary under my pillow - a common basalt. The mattress' brown and scented with geosmin. Humus adds to the softness.

    At last we rest: my body and soul. One with nature, in communion with detritivores.

    Hey Belle, I couldn't resist. ;)
