Living Inside A Painting

The phone has been dead for a week.




















It rained hard in the night and through the morning and a miracle happened. The phone came back to a life of static.



















But there was no electric power when I woke up and I stayed home in the thunder and rain.

That shifted character with the passing storm and changing light.




















My attachment is frayed on numerous levels. AT+T has decided it is my house phone wires, not theirs, an out of the blue sudden collapse of my wires that coincided with my FCC complaint.

I checked days ago. They were fine. I did nothing. Then it rained hard and a miracle happened. The phone came back to sputtering life.


















I sat inside a painting with no power.




















Untethered, entering the Twilight Zone.




















Until the sun came out and the phone went dead again.
