Frank Remus

A soft-focus dome of grey cloud covered most of the sky with its size. Her mountain of love was behind mist. A lone pigeon stood watching the ongoing traffic from the rooftop until she saw something more interesting. She glided down to her object of desire. Humidity was high in the air. I was enveloped by its dampness. A housefly landed on my right ankle, tickling my skin with her feet before she perched on my love diary page for a bit. 6 black lithe birds trickled, as they play-chased. Heavy clouds hung in shades of grey above her misty mountain of love. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

There was a light wind but the air was muggy. The sky glowed; my eyes squinted for regions of blue, but it would rain soon. Dark trees had birds chirping. Traffic was mild. Black hornet returned to her lair, looking for a good place to land. The gravel was mostly damp. To my utter amazement blue sky appeared in the north but I wasn’t convinced it would stay long. There was intense active movement within with energy passing through meridians. Something artificially placed caused a sharp ache like long strands of wire. I watched its achy contours unfolding. Recovery always seems to happen when I place attention upon it but something wasn’t completely revealed. A small tan moth fluttered above my head, over to the ledge where I saw a large wasp. A crow headed southward in silence. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

I ached to be with my heartthrob so ardent and I longed for contact with something more completely real. Sirens sounded like faint whistles. Traffic sped up Cote St-Luc road. Cicadas sang at 11:19. At 11:21, a light appeared upon her mountain of love. It could have been orange or yellow or red. At 11:25, it beamed more strongly and steadily. It flickered under deliberate control. It got large or small but maintaed the same intensity. Then it completely went out. More blue sky opened up beyond my wildest expectations. 2 crows sped and loving every minute of their presence together. A third crow followed behind, cawing at them to hold on. A moment later, the 2 returned, to retrieve their companion. The 3 headed southward. Orb of Sun almost came out. At 11:30 cicadas sang loud. Movement within me was actively engaged. It was more than a little sharp today. The road roared with gusto. Faint shadows appeared with more sun. A bee buzzed by my left knee. The wind  was breezy. The temperature felt cooler than before. Blue skies broke open even wider. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

Orb of Sun was still hid behind cloud. I sensed it would soon rain. Her mountain of love showed me some shadows and light from sun and clouds when they came. The clouds would be here for a while. Cicadas sang at 11:49. 5 blackbirds sped through the sky. Black hornet was on her way. My injurious plundering loves her punishment fines. My thief losing things loves her tearing off, stealing. My bloody nose boxers love her slapping face hitting. My wailing misfortune loves her throat cutting surgery. My thorn stabbing stain loves her red shadow function. My rape court cases loves her incapacitating jail fines. My helpless mugging loves her dominating gun. My rat bite sarcasm loves her rotting food criticism. My blinding headache loves her subtracting allergies. My dry rot wrecking crane loves her bulldozer renovating. I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “”But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31. “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” –Psalm 147:3. I love Anna Dirksen.

Meanwhile, I watched Criss Angel last night getting handcuffed for his last dangerous escape stunt from a hotel that was about to be blown up.  He switches his and his date’s clothes in seconds flat for a heart benefit where he met Sigmund and Roy. His mother was saved from a devastating heart attack. He missed his helicopter ride up. The building crumbled before he got out. Mysteriously he escaped unharmed with Frasier’s date, Madeline Marshall. She’s one of the hottest women in town: Number 47. She wants “someone who knows how to listen.” On her blind date with Fraisier, she’s impressed how he counsels restaurant staff on their family feud over a pregnant daughter. Frasier is riddled with anxiety about his true love. He takes her to Bora Bora for first lovemaking sex. To his shock and horror he finds his ex-wife Lilith there. At the funeral Bart runs amok. A psychiatrist suggests drumming therapy to channel his misbehavior. A White Stripes homage ensues and Bart takes to the drums with glee. So much so, his parents can’t sleep. Homer uses white noise to evoke sense of rest. He gently tells his sleepless wife while it streams, “transfer yourself to the coast of Nova Scotia.” After Bart performs a stunning jazz set, he is accepted by bona fide jazz musicians.  Lisa’s is hurt that her brother’s so good at the one thing she loves the most. Lisa channels her sorrow into animal rescue. She keeps a managerie in the attic plus “rats living in the Christmas decorations.” In the attic, Bart’s arm is severely injured by a tiger bite. He’ll never play drums again. He needs $78,000 for nerve damage surgery and for the first time in his life he feels empathy for his sister’s depression. So much so, he cannot bear the pain. Lisa never thought their two stories would intersect with the $100,000 that Michael needed for a new lawyer. Lindsay serves hot ham water. Gob accidentally works a day in his life. Tobias believes that George Michael has obsessive compulsive disorder. George Sr. sent his enemy poisoned muffins. Michael is hurt by his son when he hears George Michael expressing himself about his fatherhood “No wonder mom wanted out so bad.” But it was really about Maeby’s dad.
