leechpeach's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- storm. icy-slidey broken trees downed power lines blue lightning flashes dark and cold ............... we (the city) had a long rain. it froze on the streets and the trees and the sculptures in my neighbor's back yard. the world went crystal. and the trees snapped like a beat poet's audience. we lost power, and heat, and water. but the tiny bathroom with candle-powered heat saved my poor orchids. crowded like disaster relief victims. and we sat in the dark listening to the trees falling like bombs...waiting for the destruction to hit too close to home. 12:19 p.m. - 01 February, 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
