Claire

O

I haven’t written in my journal for an eternity. I just haven’t been depressed enough, or happy enough. I know that’s not the way a mature writer behaves, but I can’t help it. I either have to be deliriously upset or deliriously in love. Well, now I’m kind of both.

The upset has to do with Violet. At first we raced through space, like shadows and light; her rants, my raves; her dark hair, my blond; black dresses, white.

She a purple-black African-violet-dark butterfly and I a white moth. We were two wild ponies, Dawn and Midnight, the wind electrifying our manes and our hooves quaking the city; we were photo negatives of each other, together making the perfect image of a girl. Projecting our movie onto the sky.

Violet is strong like muscle and sinew and sophisticated like silk velvet, liqueur. I do think she has lived a number of other lives in which she learned how to look at things differently. She sees angles and light, she hears tones in voices, she watches stories unfolding when I’m not even aware that a story is taking place. (For Violet a story is always taking place.) 89
