Death in the Shadows
I grew up in the northeast of the United States where the winter is long and the nights are cold, where the snow drifts tower like the tall palms and the icicles dangle from the eaves. We lived by the bay, and I can remember the water freezing into giant bergs upon which I imagined I could set sail for somewhere warmer.
When I did leave, it wasn’t by iceberg but by aircraft, and it was during the days when there was still a smoking section in the back, snacks were complimentary, and you didn’t mind chit-chatting with the person sitting beside you. I arrived in Los Angeles, California, still believing in the truth, which would turn out to be my greatest obstacle in the land where everyone is writing a new story.
I started writing too, in an attempt to sift through the drama and the dreams, in an effort to distill the deception, and lift the dignity from the detritus like a nugget of gold. I can see clearly now, or I might say that things are more clear than they were before, and I can recognize the beauty of the ever sunny skies but I also look back now and then and I remember the frozen bay and I smile just a little.
