a long aweighted return.

[photoflood]

she saw paris reflected
in burning hydrogen &
burnt-out cigarettes
regrets retold &
enfolded in the pleats of her skirt
she watched as
imperial language
pressed itself into her curtains
first impressions are everything
there's some sort of correlation between
focus & light
focus & flights overseas
survolant salt saturation

aweighted/awaited; clever pun spun up.
whichever you would or might prefer.

and the pressure? of such language, of course, yes.
weight-pressure, atmospheric, and everything else?
such pressure holds bones and marrow together;
keeps our blood-energy from bursting.

and as such, walk with grace.

tread lightly when punning.

don't trip over extremities.

it was far from perfect, but at one time it meant something. although, perhaps, i'm afraid- nothing is left?

[pancaketuesday]

you write hella well.

[photoflood]

thank you, you're very sweet.

[ohtheaftershock]

you're still modding mode19, right? (and i'm not crazy and/or the system is auto-accepting new applicants?)

ps. thanks for turning the approval back on for mark, i've been so lazy, but tired of seeing the same post after post; i think it turns away members from actually posting...

[photoflood]

yeah, i'm still moderating. i've accepted a few more members. they seemed alright, but i didn't check in depth. i think our problem is that our members just dont POST. i dont know how to fix that. any ideas?

yeah, i actually made it so his posts are moderated again. frankly, i got tired of seeing them all the time. i want mode19 to be successful, but we're sort of in a slump. we should talk.

[photoflood]
