phrases written in blurs of time

The seal under the ice pierced the school of fish blue.

A wave of birds flew up from the trees, folded and then turned back upon itself and the sun looked pretty on their wings. The swarm sent signals through itself and their silver-grey back made flashes with the sun.

The forest of fireflies pulsed with the weeping of the trees. In the summer we sat in the canoe and watched the neon from the water.

There was synchrony. There was order.

When we came home, the pipe tubing moaned for hours like a siren muffled under a pillow. The entire city came up weeping. We dug deeper into our furniture.

I looked at all the names of the Duggar children pass with their picture of it. I whispered their names quietly to myself. They all looked really quite very beautiful.

word verification is "jecoppyr" which is an evil monster that cuts up kids' faces and then puts them in puzzle boxes and gives them away at birthday parties.
