Show Inside Out, 108 I know you understand poetry. Here's something that Terra wrote: The tree is bare steel Nothing absorbed, nothing lost Dead But not dead. Can you see that she's hurting inside? Please help her. From: Joseph <desertsageJoseph@yahoo.com> To: Andli <Charcoalchic@vahoo.com> Dear Andli, OK, I'm sorry I didnt answer your questions. So I will. Sometimes we can watch you and sometimes we cant Like I said before, it has to do with whether we are tied to you enough to allow us to be with you and see you. And no, we cant see into your thoughts. About Terra: Because of some things I did, I feel sort of responsible for how her life is going right now. I have to try to make things right Please, please tell me now what progress youVe made with her. From: Joseph <desertsageJoseph@yahoo.com> To: Andli <Charcoalchic(5)vahoo.com> Please, Andli. She's hurting. And I need to make sure she's OK. Also, I just want to talk to you. It feels so good to talk to someone alive. Please write back. I liked that he wanted to talk to me, that maybe this wasn't completely all just about Terra anymore. And I had to admit that the poem was pretty cool. No doubt about it-Terra could write. A tiny part of me twisted up a little to realize that. Probably she would beat me out for our school's slot at the Academy. I thought again about her sour attitude every day in |
