back

[Jade]
Looking back over the hillock you can see a thousand things, a thousand worlds unravelling themsleves out into the night. There's nothing stopping you from leaving, nothing keeping you there to stay. there's nothing around you but emptiness and you wonder why you're there at all. There's nothing left but the vague hollow of the soul, wishfully gazing out into the skies, wishing on a star

I am glad you are back again. When you go, there is something missing and I can't do anything about it, you leave me powerless

we just got back from the bush yesterday. when we're home we can't wait to get back to the bush. we love the bush. it's not that we can't wait to get home while we're there, but we are usually pleased to come back.

behind me there is something scary. I'm looking straight ahead. I'm keeping moving. I don't glance back. I hear footsteps. I walk faster and then I run. My feet slap the floor and

Back. I'm always looking back. It's the new forward you know...

"Back to where exactly?" he thought. The line was closed now, the old trains never ran. Clouds were forming overhead as he walked through the weed speckled ruts that were the only legacy of the old line. It was a time before, but before he could ever remember.

Her back is cold. You run a hand down it, feeling the bones under the skin, the framework that she's based on in her entirety and you can't help but feel a little awed. Strong, so strong under such soft skin. It's deceptive, but aren't appearances always deceptive? It's an awful shame, you think, that one so young had to die.
October 21, 2004 03:45 AM

[sarah]
looking back on all the time weve spent together, i wonder why it turned out that way. you didnt seem the type that would try to take advantage of me but now i just dont know. cant we just go back to the way it used to be?

It was back when the moon met the sun. Everything flowed in a silvery golden light and it was wonderful. We didn't think about it until later but it was between day and night and we were bewitched with it ourselves. How were we supposed to know that it birthed the dawn?
October 21, 2004 04:08 AM

[tingeling]
I turned my back to them when they looked at me. Not that I'm cold or anything, I just don't lik epeoples. bon voyage!
October 21, 2004 04:08 AM

[raviolieye]
looking back. i don't care. i don't feel lost. among the pedistals of brush and steel. cursive. tormenting. actions of youth. lies. a trembling smile. a heart pin cusion.
October 21, 2004 04:15 AM

[raviolieye]
my back to the wall. my eyes to the silence. is this what its like to be hunted? hiding? clouds running away from the sadness of another short story... of unspeakable words to write about. the ash covered flowers will never speak of this again. because the stars refuse to shine. what are we afraid of?

At the back of the room where no one noticed him, sat a tired old man with a glass eye. I noticed him and how that glass eye followed me whereever I stood.

I love my back. It has a single mole on the shoulder, creating a back like Crawford's face. It has a freckle patch at the bottom, hinting at ... the bottom. Smooth, straight, slightly tanned. I love my back.
October 21, 2004 05:54 AM

[daovinci]
Welcome back. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaack. Geez, I now feel like an old man for making a "Welcome back Kotter" reference. And a bit of a dork...

my back is usually sore when i wake up in the morning - not that i notice it, but if i think about it, then i'll notice it. not fun, but it's what you deal with when you've played sports since you were five. i usually like to lie on the floor once a day and crack my back - i'll throw one leg all the way across the other to crack it... it feels good.
October 21, 2004 06:47 AM

[Daisy]
Welcome back. It is good to be back. I am going back in time these days, walking my daughter to school. Holding one little mittened hand in mine, I am remembering about school lunches, crossing guards, kids who do not invite you to their birthday parties, wearing the right clothes, art projects with white glue and sparkles, show and tell (where if you are lucky you get to bring in the ballerina music box your mom bought you.)

you used to be able to see my vertabre. it was beautiful. i felt wonderful and translucent. i felt like a fish. like a straw. like a zipper. you used to be able to trac my ribs all the way around to my sternum. and now there is all this flesh in the way. all this flesh.

They have a shoulder each, almost two shoulders. But half way down the middle of their back, their two spines crush to form into one. Somethings are easy to share: straws, books, emotions. Backs are a little more difficult.
October 21, 2004 07:19 AM

[Kelly]
I don't think I can ever go back. The rough slide of skin, the way his look burned and his hands controlled my every movement. I'm lost without him, but it's better to be lost.
October 21, 2004 07:21 AM

[Shylo]
Her "hello" hit me right in the heart. a combination of sadness and unabashed hope made her eyes shine so that i couldn't look at her. because i'd never take her back. because the scars hadn't healed yet. because i knew she'd do it all over again. and i really value my couches.
October 21, 2004 07:32 AM

[Jan]
back, return! Going home is never the same as before,but that is all right anyway. A fresh look at what used to be is sometimes a tonic.

my back is behind me yes it is o yes o yes o yes it is sometimes it hurts and i have to go to the chiropractor to get adjusted and my back makes a ton of cracking noises its kind of cool. yes it is o yes it is yay im done good bye bye bye buhbye

Your back is probably sinuous, tortuous, twisted, just like your vile words. A hunchback of speech. The oratory skills of a viper. Your hunch is filled with the lies you spout, and you love it.

Always behind me, never to precede me, have you got it? Sometimes I go away just so I can come back.

October 21, 2004 07:47 AM

[crocodiletears]
you can never go home again. so true. even if you can return to your childhood house, you can never get back the people who loved you, the experiences that shaped you. nothing is ever the same again as it was in the second before it. you'll never get it back

[Angelique]
relive times that your memory forgets, reverse the flow of your day and jump into the clouds from outside a dream in your head it's all in your head anyway, things come and go, forward and back like the breeze sending a flower into a fit of dancing bliss, grass so fresh and my hair lift into my eyes, upside down
October 21, 2004 07:54 AM

[larya]
back. on my back. i cut there sometimes. it's a good place. and.. it looks pretty. it's terrible to say that. but i like it. the blood running down in the intricate little grooves of my skin. and then it scabs over. and it's strange. and unhuman. i like it. yeah

Even though a part of me is still there, a part of me is still in that colonial house in the neighborhood where everyone lived, I don't feel like going back. I want to see everyone, to eat lunch or go to a movie or anything, but I don't think they want to see me. I don't live there anymore; I'm not real.

step back to a time where you knew what the hell you were doing. you did things for a reason and probably a good one at that. today's reasons are so convoluted they're simple in the abstract. like an evil scientist.
October 21, 2004 08:43 AM

[Ron]
I just got here and now I'm thinking of going back. What the hell is wrong with me? I set out to find a new life, a new place to settle into, and now I'm scared? I know I'm not going back. I can't go back.

He was back again. That was all they knew. He was back again. Who was this man who was back again? They didn't know. That was what they were trying to find out. Years had gone by and still they hadn't a clue as to who this person was. But it was the same person. It was the same soul that committed all those crimes.

Back when times were different, when I looked at the world through glazed, rose-colored eyes, when I saw everything as naive and innocent and good. Back when I was happy dancing around the trees, laughing at the birds... back when I was ignorant but happy.

back? i thought it said black. i like that color the most, i think because its very night-ish. and i like the night. in fact, i wish that we were naturally nocturnal animals, that would be nice, stay up all night, hang out with the people that are worth hanging out with. back. i have a tattoo on mine.

Everything is a back. People turn their backs on each other all the time. This world is just a constant fit of back-stabbing and hating. No two people are ever friends without them each stabbing each other in the back at least once. I mean, you';ve talked about your brest friend before, right? Like, when yo're really angry. Everybody gets angry at everybody. They all talk behind people's backs.

oh how i would like to go back to the way things were. there was less tension, less disorder. our clique, our friendship - it's crumbling. we have somehow allowed the criticism of others to be taken to heart. drama, fights, tiny annoyances - unresolved, these things slowly break us apart. maybe we're not as strong as i thought? if you cared as much as me, you would make a true effort. will you?

Listen young ones, listen all. Something whispers...a soft melody. This melody, I've heard before, once a long ago...perhaps it shall return to me. Perhaps it shall meander on down the street, dancing, whirling just out of touch. Stretch, and try to reach...deep into the recesses of memory...

I wish I could go back. I always promised myself there was nothing I could do that I would ever regret. And I was wrong. I want to go back to Frenshman year. To Megan parties and full moons and a group of familiar faces. To sweet smells and warm naps. and i'm stuck in today.

His back was hairy, ewww. Monique scratched it absently. She hated dogs, but this one came with an endowment. She could keep the money if she kept the dog [lwn)

back in time, back to the end of the days when I could have seen something other than an endless game of love and lust and nothing more than this. Back is the opposite of forward and of all progress but sometimes you must go back, sometimes you've got to feel what you see and know what you've done. You've got to look back and you've got to love the mistakes that you have made BACK then

Back...I want to go back. If I wasn't here I would be home and not here...where I don't belong. Maybe this is wrong for me to be here...step back, rewind, edit, fix mistakes. Learn from mistakes and take it from the last step. Ahh. What can I do? Meh, I want to go back. Should I? No.

back in the day when I was young and not a kid anymore I relized that the best way to make a name for yourself was to die. Slowly and surely this will be the way to remeber the ways of the samuri. Back in the day.

back in the day.... she was always saying that, as if life had meaning for her, for anyone then. As if life went on for Maria, as if she hadn't drowned in Gordon's creek.

i wish i could go back to that time before i knew she existed in your world. i could be more gusty without the knowledge of her. i could take your face in my hands and i could kiss you. but not now, not since i know she's this irreversible factor.

Back in time to a day so sweet. I remember the feeling of warmth and kindness in my heart. I yearn to go back to that day, that time... when I felt like the world was perfect... and so were you.

going back in time is a feat not many have been able to achieve. maybe that's a good thing, because maybe humans were created with eyes at the front, so that we can look ahead and not back behind us?

back in your arms is the only place I wish to be right now, I can picture you perfectly, tired, in the dark but close to me, within reach and I can feel your heat. The proximity of your soul to mine is comforting

Back where we started. Still going in circles. Everytime it's always the same thing. Endless dances around words we would rather not say. Tiresome silly games with no point but to evade that wear at my nerves.

the old woman pounded her fist on the table top and pointed, "someone stole that blood! i take one look in that jar two days ago and it was full! i tell you full! now its at a level where i can't even imagine being able to live no more." a cat sprang up onto the table and started to purr. "mary....", came jack "i think you know what happened, come out with it already." the old woman patted the cats head, "i said i turned my back for one second and the jars been looted and the door swung shut!" she slapped the table again and the jar tipped over and the blood quickly poured out, spilling like water over the cats paws and over the sides of the table the cat stood still a momment and then bent its neck to lick the curdled mess off its paw. jack and mary watched in utter silence as the cat cleaned itself. the kitchen was cold, the stove was cold, the dead bodies outside in the winter snow were cold. Mary and jack, those monsters have currupted another mouth, so they have another stomach to feed besides thier own. jack...

while I was back in the yard I saw a rat. He was cute, but he was trying to get into my attic. so I let the dog out, and he went apeshit. OMG< I have never seen a dog act like that before of a rat. I mean, he acted as though they were good eating or something. Well as soon as the rat saw the dog he took off like lightening, and then istarted raining. I love the rain. We don't get enough of it here. It's always hot or dry, or some other weather besides raining. And when it's hot, we have to run the a/c and that makes the elctrical bill go through the roof. I hate roofs, they always leek. We tried fixing our leak, and almost got it, but now we get a swimming pool effect on the garage. Makes my husband think too long. He doens't always think. In fact, he rarely thinks at all. Nope, not thoughtful at all.

Well, it's been a long time, but I'm back. Back to the grind, back to the concrete, back to the front of the line you might say because I'm putting my nose to the grindstone and I'm trying my damnedest to stay focused.

back is the past. never look back. never regret the past because of your actions everything happens for a reason. Nothing you can do can cange what has happened and so never look back. there i am done i think .

Take me back before it all began. Take me back. I remember when I ran. If you take me back, it'll all be fine again. Please take me back and it'll all be fine again. God I suck at poetry.

Back and forwards,around and around..Up and down. I step back when I get scared, is that what you do? That's what I do! Do you step forwards when you're right, or think you are, then have to all of a sudden step back? Yes, yes, That's what most of us do. WE gewt scared and back out of good things, only to regret

Back to the woods, right? Such a chant, something we used to scream with amazing zest in the middle of a tri-town soccer league, tri-town softball. Back to the beginning, the drawing board, second base (it was a foul ball, stupid). Regresar. Volver. Go back? But why?

If I go back I'll turn right into the zombie that I hate and that everyone was unfamiliar with and afraid of. I've come this far and can only go forward to face unafraid all the challenges and mistakes that come before me. You can't achieve anything without courage and love.

Back...not again. Always back. One step forward, but never to last. It always seems to be the same thing. Every time I get anywhere, always something pulls be back. No more. The only thing that now stands int he way of me and forward is this...to never look into the face of it again. Too many times already has it brought me there, to the palce I said I'd never go again. Never again, but yet I wish to go back. Always wanting more.

Back in time when she felt so innocent, when she nothing a child, she felt a peace that could no longer be attained. She looked forward in time and saw nothing but a life of shame and regret.
