Notes on Acrobats


Jessica had found the border fence

Which was hidden in a snowy forest

Why would such an important border

Be protected by such a thin fence

Even a cow could cross without hindrance

It was so lightly guarded a perfect place

For Jessica to disappear from her previous life


The warm sea was lit from within a beautiful fluorescent blue

A natural light produced by living organisms in these rough waters

Jessica had copied these notes into her diary

Just before the ink froze in her frigid pen

This was all that she required to travel freely

She kept her valued diary in a fake Hermes bag

Along with a camera a paperback and a gun
