I didn’t really get back to sleep the other night… or the next if I’m being totally honest. I’ve just been trying to stay busy – I’ve been reading, keeping the radio cranked and generally trying to dispel some of the quiet and cloying loneliness.
I thought I saw Barbie out by the fence today, but by the time I got my boots on and opened the door she had disappeared.
I’ve thought about riding into town, but the drifts are still deep and I don’t really need supplies.
How do I navigate this?
I called a few friends from back home, but there were no answers… I left messages and all I can do is hope for the best.
I called my Mom, but she didn’t pick up.
I made another cup of tea and saw the same sloped figure down by the railroad tracks.
I’ve only ever seen him, I assume him, walking away down that path.
I wonder where he comes from.
I wonder where he goes.
Maybe I can time it right tomorrow and catch up with him…
It’s a goal.
