Colorado mountain towns - bipolar. A test finally failed.

avalanches of pine cones moan
           in mountain air

whirr of spruce and fir spikes
           to bold blind ire

   aspens do more than quake
      in their anorexic frames

         the hitting and hurling
      make their skeletons weep

         we summon hundreds
            of leaves of sleep.

 

                                Julie K. Shavin

OMGosh.If I read this right. It reminds me of a beautiful g/f I had, who'd been anorexic was close to manic depression. She overcame the anorexia. However, I feel it is the trauma that caused it that has incapacitated her. I knew if she only wanted salad, that was a warning.

It still busts my heart, to think of her hurting. But up go the barriers, cheating and co-dependancy. Then the silence.
