Pleiades
For Mikkjel, on the occasion of your birthday.
Lie back love, in my arms. Stare at the stars with me, let the night caress you and the dew from the grass seep into your back. If you're cold, I am here, but look there.
Do you see the Hunter striding across the heavens? He is Orion, and see, there? He chases Merope and her sisters across the sky. ( Read more... ) -
Three to Six and Nine Will Bring Daylight
It's been another one of those nights when I forgot to sleep, because yesterday I had one of those days when I forgot to wake up. Of course my cat is no help at all. If I am in bed all day so much the better, because there is a warm thing to curl up on and deaden the nerves in the legs of. If I happen to be awake all day, that's fine too, ( Read more... ) -
Immortal Words and Intestinal Swirls
A long time ago, ten years ago in fact, I wrote this:
Loki
You descended acid scored
Cried tears from ember eyes
I remember every word
Penetrated each disguise
You insist on placing blame
Your torment is all your own
Every scream strengthens your chain
As you waste away to bone
You dread the day when your cup runneth over
I know it hurts
I'll rue the day when ( Read more... ) -
Magic Far Away
So today has been wonderful, full of sunlight and capturing words. Somewhere the day became permeated with warmth and I feel wonderful, but bittersweet to the point of tears. Finally drawing close with words as the day fades, but it must be bright now. You never realise how much you truly miss someone until you can almost touch them but never ( Read more... ) -
Missing Peace
Missing you speaks to me more
Than words in packages
Wrapped in paper and tied in ribbon
But I'd give you all the words in the world
If I could hear just one from your lips
And if it could be my name
I'd give them all again
Instead I am bound by half thoughts
Not conversations but a semblance of
Hope in almost sentences
Each taste of your essence
Distilled ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday Only Just
This morning? awoke slowly dreams clinging like spiderwebs I could not bear to brush away. Sensual and essential your hands reluctant first then blatantly not. I thought I knew who you were and where we were but I didn't and it was sterile sterile sterile but you were not. Stephen sings There Is A Light That Never Goes Out and I before him ( Read more... ) -

A Long Post About Amanda Palmer and Cupcakes
Last night there was an exciting little tweet about a a contest to grab a spot on the Amanda Palmer guestlist tonight. I spent all day watching twitter until said contest appeared... And Dorian's name was on the guestlist shortly afterwards. I have immense love for musicians who do things like this for their fans, so of course I was compelled to ( Read more... ) -
Other People's Wonders
Two people in my life have done incredible things lately, and I feel the need to share. Mostly because they did those things so they could be shared, which in itself is wonderful.
Raven's Book:
My friend Raven was in the middle of writing a book when we met. We became very close, and during the time in which we bonded I was privileged to read the ( Read more... ) -
Blameless Nights
Last night I dreamt of cats. Not just cats... Of tattoos, of an invitation to a party on gold paper. Of dressing up as a green bean. Of slapping someone and holding someone else. But I mostly recall that there were cats ( Read more... )
