One of my favorite shots

This is one of my favorite - it just seems so serene. I can't explain it.

The Consequences of Inclination

I have seen it drive women to madness
—a slow tightening of the thighs
as definite as winter chill—the breeze
deep-seated, fixed like sea to sand.

And it is beside you, inside you, all season:
something stirs in the air.

Voices, like petals pulled from their stems:
"He loves me." It is enough.

It is enough—
beneath a current, where stones lie silent,
where breath becomes still within minutes.

We say yes, yes, yes to it all – only to linger
on eastern edges, like game pieces: each
rapt to see where the other may go—so
still at times, we appear to be the next
period as it awaits return.

Long ago, I walked this path—body depleted,
nerves on the ache of splinter. And at the
close of it all, I found nothing.
[I found nothing.]

Chest split in the bitter fist of December,
left to solidify in its grasp—I remained there
forever it seemed: bruised shins, hair in my
hands, and one black boot on the floor.

What is Hot in 2006

Is hot, yea?





-If only I could find a man like that! ;)

"...though a block away you feel distant the mere presence changes everything like a chemical dropped on paper and all thoughts disappear in a strange quiet excitement I am sure of nothing but this, intensified by breathing"

My "To Do" List for Tuesday, March 28th 2006

1.Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
2.Push all the flat Lego pieces together tightly.
3.Wear a special hip holster for my remote control.
(just might annoy?)
4.Signal that a conversation is over by clamping my
hands over ears.
5.Check out a novel from the library and write the
surprise ending on page one.
6.Repeat the following conversation a dozen times:
"Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now."

And I have decided that I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it is easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.

Yea?

Well, Spring is here? Or perhaps it is on its way - I don't know, but I truly long for it.

love on me, this love, love on me, this love, love -

I know well the shape of admiration you express
and poetry of hunger spread thick against paper
walls, where we are silhouettes: the soft of
memory —

nights when the moon would drive the lamps out,
a thin hush over our flesh— we felt it then as it
quickened along the vine. And in the dark,

we'd lower our voices and touch in the last hours
before dawn. Each stroke a maddening of sorts
left to linger, like words or warm breath in the air.

Such things come easy with the steady hand.
And even if it were all a dream, may I sleep til
Spring, to rise again through the flames.

Random thoughts

I am changing for the better I think. Everything that touches or passes me - seems utterly and perfectly beautiful. The sky, voices, words, letters, photographs, fruit, scents, and season. Oh, how I want to walk barefoot in the fields of flowers as they become fragrant in Spring.

I long for cotton dresses in subtle hues, scents of lavender on my wrist, and a sun that warms even the smallest of curl on the cheek. I am abundant with thoughts of a changing season. What I would not do for a garden of lily and rose.

And I plan to take time to pause each moment that I can. Seasons such as Spring pass much too quickly - I do not want to miss a thing.

I know I said that this year was going to be the best - so when does it begin? I must have been in a fog. Days pass and I imagine all the things I could be doing, but never do. If I could change one thing about myself it would be my mind: it never does what I really want. ;)

I had hoped to cross days - forget to return

When the shards of eve and excitement
were high as treetop pine, I gave in
to his mouth; it trembled slightly as
it brushed my breast.

Commend the slender boy, who dare climb
my tresses in joie de vivre, clothed in
silk suit - hung loosely in the night air.

Praise him, for he was clever.
He placed his thigh against mine,
warming me sweetly, fingers pressed to
lips as if to draw out the words he

longed to reveal. And with one quick kiss,
his flesh began to ache, it lifted with
each passing breath, but there was no time -

I knew I would/could not return.

"Be still, for my body might not take
another
mad moment,
another stroke -
I have grown tired, you move
me, radiohead, split me in two."

We slept beside each other and when the
lonely light of morning crept across his
cheek –
I had gone.

Do you volunteer?
I used to. I bought books from Barnes and Noble or Borders, and read them to the children in the peds unit each week. Afterward, I would give the books to the
them. I miss that. They were always such a sweet bunch. I recall buying a violin for one boy. His parents could not afford it, but I knew he longed to play. I loved him. His mum cried, but was happy as well and I felt so sad. I suppose she always wished she could of gave him one. I thought about giving it to her and letting her give it, but that was after the fact. I regret not doing that. Sometimes my heart leaps moves before I can catch up. Sorry wherever you are.

Which is worse?
Seeing someone chewing their fingernails
or picking their nose?
Neither - I hate to see ppl chew gum with the mouth open ::shudders::

Sour milk. I don't like milk much anyway - except choc.

or a beefcake?
A loving guy. And what the heck is a 'beefcake"? Sounds like a poor constructed food product. Again, ::Shudders::

What are you wearing?
A pair of bell bottom pants, slippers, white socks,
and a long sleeve shirt.

Name 3 movies that you will remember.
Amelie, Chocolat, Untamed Heart

Are you glad we are through?
Yep

I have seen it drive women to madness—
as definite as winter chill—the breeze
deep-seated, fixed like bullet to bone.

And it is beside you, inside you, all season:
something stirs in the air.

Voices, like petals pulled from their stems:
"He loves me." It is enough.

It is enough -
beneath a current, where stones lie silent,
where breath becomes still within minutes.

We say yes, yes, yes to it all – only to linger
on eastern edges, like game pieces: each
rapt to see where the other may go – so
still at times, we appear to be the next
period as it awaits return.

Once long ago, I walked this path, my body
became depleted, nerves on the ache of
splinter. And at the close of it all, I found
nothing. [I found nothing.]

My chest split in the bitter fist of December,
left to solidify in its grasp. I remained there
forever it seemed: bruised shins, hair in my
hands, and one black boot on the floor.

And across the miles, vast as an ocean song,
a handful of love awaits, its faith in me,
like an open field – I feel the warmth, but am
frightened of the [strength] it reveals.

0 ho trovato la perla del prezzo grande,
esso sto chiedendoci di attendere

appena per un po'lungamente in questa
condizione della pausa, come un alito

tenuto, di un bacio di winter's. sto imparando
il significato allineare del pazienza,

è un percorso costoso da seguire con le
difficoltà, il dolore, la poesia,

le rotture e la passione, ma presto le cose
precedenti saranno oscurate dalle

ricompense, in cui le cose di vecchio
si ricorderanno di nient'altro e un nuovo sole,

il sole di tutti che per la volontà presentiamo
con in ale di it's - fino allora

all'continuerò a scriverlo nella mia vita,
anche se le mie barrette possono sanguinare.
