Sea shells at the sea shore Jan. 6, 2015

  

She curls up like a snail inside her shell, antenna poking out into the cold air, shifting this way and that, vibrating to the dangers of the wide world without, no way to know her, she shifts shells so quickly, never giving anyone the chance to climb inside the shell beside her, to loo out to see what she sees, to feel each tremble she feels and to sense what makes her so afraid. She is not the girl who sells sea shells by the sea shore, but the one who inhabits them, to see which will fit her best, knowing the whole time she well never get too comfortable in any of them, knowing she will need to flee each sooner or later, and must be prepared to keep; from being too attached.
