NYC. I'm going thirft store shopping for work clothes in NYC. I'm actually going by myself, which is pretty exciting.

Happy, healthy, pretty, and free. Vastly different from this day last year.

Am I lovely? Of  course!
Breathlessly I taste
the subtle compliment
of a handmade caress.
Crop me into tiny bits,
caress and tame my soul,
that godly swallow
you love to no end.

--Vera Pavlova

It's snowing outside for New Years Eve! It's Snowing!!!! I'm not sure if I should shout YAY or BOOOO....

Bloodbath by Christian Drake

And it came in like the barking of dogs in your belly,
the lunatic dogs that bark every full moon on the dot.
The clock in you unwound, the little room collapsed,
and the blood trickled out in a thin red ribbon,

to classical philosophy
tell me how this stimulates
the fabric of most human relationships,
I love that kind of pointless intellectualism
so do it ( Read more... )

My cat Sophie comes when you whistle!

This is so neat! I've experimented with it a few times since then, and every single time, she has the same reaction--I'm ( Read more... )

Pay Day

I woke up in
the arms of
a new, old love

saw two rainbows,
danced joyously
with a happy toddler
in a sudden
torrential thunderstorm
( we were both
wet right through)

came home to find
a book of beloved poems
had returned to me,
in the mail.

The Mess of Love

We’ve made a great mess of love
Since we made an ideal of it.

The moment I swear to love a woman, a certain woman, all my life
That moment I begin to hate her.

The moment I even say to a woman: I love you! -
My love dies down considerably.

The moment love is an understood thing between us, we are sure of it,
It’s a cold egg, it isn’t ( Read more... )
