This is a post that had been postponed be real events in real life for quite some weeks. Planned previously, but life changed that. Losing (figuratively) a loved family member, and regaining them back. Communication is key, along with understanding who we are as people.

I stood there, singing along to Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love,” feeling things that I shouldn’t have. A song that should have stood alone, and again, like always, I knew…something. The dark night engulfed me (us)…and the world became more real, as it always will.

Coachella Good, Bad and Ugly:
– Amazed to go to my first Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
– The design allows for some music to cannibalize the artists (ie During The Black Keys, Explosions In The Sky’s set flooded the lower volume sets and breaks between music.)
– The artist selection was amazing.
– Sharing the experience was great, especially since I planned to go solo.
– Camping was an experience within itself, though I was told, “This isn’t real camping.” I’ll accept that.

Text Tuesdays – New Prose – “Hide Away”

“Hide away”
KS 4/17/12
Let’s run,
Away from this place,
Maybe around the corner,
Maybe down the street,
An obvious restaurant,
A hidden hotel,

Hide away,

Let’s tell the world,
Then stay at home,
Light dim,
Sound low,
The dun of our heartbeats,
Us alone,

Hide away,
