A rainbow of Grey = Mamahuhu.

Mamahuhu: horse, horse, tiger, tiger – literally.
It means "just ok".  It isn't good. It isn't bad.
It just is. Just as it is grey.
It's been about twenty days on since we've seen the sun.

I thought Natalie Merchant's sentiments seem quite appropriate.

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.

February 24, 2012

Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime. Now I'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day while here I lie

with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry,
"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this
four poster dull torpor pulling downward.

For it is such a long time since my better days.
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away.
The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.

A quiver in my voice as I cry,

March 7, 2012

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

For it is such a long time since my better days.
