wednesday, december 22nd - affirmation day

being here, in this space, dancing around with strangers in masks, i don't understand how it is that they are connected to their space and i merely float about... slipping in between those who care and those who wish they could....

i reach out to lift someone's mask - oh, what a chance i am taking - i discover there isn't anything at all behind - nothing - no one.

i show them my face and they have no reaction - nothing for me to grasp hold....

then i notice it... out of the corner of my eye... it is there - reaching out it's hand, holding onto it's secret - or perhaps it's mine.

no no no, i tell myself... this isn't the day for trickery and deceit.

kisses, from behind the mask........... me
