this life don't last forever

Well my friend, I see your face so clearly
Little bit tired, little worn through the years
You sound nervous, you seem alone
I hardly recognize your voice on the telephone

In between I remember
Just before bound-up, broken-down
We drive out to the edge of the highway
Follow that lonesome dead-end roadside south

We're all in this thing together...

Given how scrumptious you look to me in that top, I'm thinking that your neck and shoulders would be looking particularly appetising to Hannibal.

Now if my name was Edward I could cut that top off faster than you can say Energizer Bunny and have my wicked way with you. eeek

dreamsuit,
lusciously heaving
a vision of
a magic life.

a velvet fever
for healing hearts
in a haunted
translucent star bellied
sacred universe.

an eclipse poem:

i lather her
gorgeously purple drunk
in the sweet
frantic goddess garden
we chanted
pink moonlight language;
a symphony of
foresting need.

Lovely poem. Glad you both got along so well. smile

She struck me differently - beat me up, Luna did.
Felled to the flu, she spun me 'round
for pursuing her syzygistic dance;
for perusing her sidelong glance.

yo dudes and dudettes, check it out--a total lunar eclipse on wednesday:

lunar eclipse info

On Wednesday night, Feb. 20, for the third time in the past year, the moon will become completely immersed in the Earth's shadow, resulting in a total lunar eclipse.

As is the case with all lunar eclipses, the region of visibility will encompass more than half of our planet. Nearly...

Gods, I'm temporally challenged.

Looked up when I got home, and saw the moon beaming from a crystal clear sky. Got all excited, and started rushing around fitting together odds and ends to take a couple of eclipse photos.

Found that my Fujifilm A340 camera with the lens pushed into the rubber eyecup of a Russian Typnct-6, 20x50, 30x50 spotting scope does a fair enough job, even hand-held (need to remember to bring my tripod home one of these days ...).



SPOILERS! (Click to view)
I picked up the scope from a surplus place maybe 15 years ago, and surprisingly enough, they are still available through different gun-related auction sites (saw a starting bid of $39.99). The optics aren't great, and yield noticeable astigmatism and chromatic aberration, but what do you want for under $50?



I went in the house to download the images, and see how the experiment had fared, then went to the NASA site to find out what time the moon would start to disappear.

What? It should already be in partial eclipse by now ... today is Tuesday .... bonehead! (and yes, the forecast is still calling for snow).

Hoping the weather held out for you, too, and you got a good eyeful of Madonna Oriente.

Even though light flurries were coming down I did not get shut out, and did amazingly well capturing her splendor taking into account the gear I'd hobbled together.

Just as she returned to fullness clouds started scudding in ...
