i doodle to pass time, to relieve my tension, or to dispel fear. but
these last few pages i have fixated on an image i can not release.
perhaps an image i can't even see.
top surgery is in ten days.
and the i don't know regarding what is to be,
could be more easily quelled if i allowed it to be curiosity. if i asked myself the important questions.
will my body remember the strokes, the motions to pull me thru water?
will it feel how it felt when i was a child?
will my body join the waves?
