dear twitching eye syndrome diary,
the last time it happened- i was driving through new mexico about twenty after four in the morning and there wasn't a light in my face. i'll never forget what my aunt had told me as a child that suddenly and hauntingly had found its way back into the early predawn moment that summer. earlier in the summer, i'd lost someone so special to me. death is hard enough, but suicide takes it just a step further yet. i guess it was because i knew he knew when he was to draw his last breath. hard to drive miles with thoughts on your mind and when my left eye started twitching and my right one shed a single tear- i looked up and saw his face in my mirror. madonna told me long ago when spirits are trying to get through- sometimes your left eye will twitch or blink and we must, "stop so they can look at you." i did, and he was.
