Exploding Like Spiders Across The Stars
-
by Charles IV
I had been searching for that particular state of mind for long and then when I was crossing a street on the way from supermarket it emerged, a feeling of stability and strength combined, it was close to hearing a melody leading to the lowest octave and disappearing confidently with each oscillation into silence, an orchestra playing together a masterpiece ending with the destiny common for all.
And I danced to it as if every walk side was mine; and every street and every square and every pub was part of it. It was my stability and strength combined and maybe the tip of her fingers touching my hand when we were twisting around.
We were looking into one another's eyes and talked and talked. I pretended not really being fond of long talks - because I am a big man and I don't talk - but I was, and I wanted her to talk more and to have her attention lasting for longer.
And the masterpiece played beautiful just as it played a decade ago, resonating through the air, and walls going even beyond the concrete tingling the bells and the leaves of trees.
It took only a decade to get to cross the street on that day. And the journey cost me multiple heart breaks, it lured me in multiple fights, it kept me in extreme solitude and made me doubt myself.
Simply, I was afraid too little and was too big to do a swift move. And as rolling down towards a concrete wall, I was flattening the grass carpets on the way to fight off, the windmills, the cubists of the town.
Had I had more opened heart, I could have been snug in a bed with a birdie with blue eyes having her there melting as an ice cube wearing only a sweater with geometrical shapes.
One is enough and two is too many - but if either of them were top less I would think of the one wearing triangles and squares.
Because she was like string taunting in the space emitting heat, echoing itself in the surrounding and reflecting back overlapping sounds that felt like a reflection of the outside street in the window of our room. She was low noise humming in my hands, she tinkled on my heart like a close whisper in one’s ear and then you heard the lisp emanating from a pit into life.
It emanated in circles like a vortex of some type, taking the clouds off the sky. The space inhaled and extended as if it was lungs and held its shape. Suddenly there was a ball bat off that was flying high until it popped and slowly fell down naturally in a massive squirt covering the heads of the cubists, until it reached the ground and then everyone went wow.
And you stand aside, eyes opened, jaw dropped stunned by what you were seeing. You didn't know anything about my journey because you had just seen me crossing; a man with a big smile, and you had heard others saying that I was a mad man. And they were right, I was as mad as a hatter. But you loved the show until it reached the silence. [1].
