"Her teeth were rotten. There

Was something left

In the frontseat, glowing..."


Do you want to see it? Hold it
In me, opposable lantern
Dark twist, dancing belly

Entrancing jelly, bread.

(Her teeth were silver, and
Her neck would bend
At the base of her

Skull, common. But
The body burned
It did, the ashes

Into paste, I made clay
I did, but to breathe...

sometimes very interesting. sometimes shockingly dull. i have a great job, though. i always look forward to it even through the trying times (like now).

occassionally i dream about my teeth. i had one recently that my molar grew to be so large that i couldnt close my mouth. it could be seen forcing my jaw open- like a big cartoon tooth.
fred:
good for you and the ex. If I ever got back it would have to be quite a while. I'm consigned in thinking it's entirely over actually.

I only got about 4 hours sleep last night... from being wound up after a bad phone call of said ex.
And what got me started on the staying up kick was the weed. I'll be smoking and watching TV on the weekend nights until about 5am.

Should be, feed.

Subtle: two islands
Inbetween soft iron, a

Piano dipped in butter, a
Boulder in the mouth
Of Joseph, a knitted

Twine, now, a blanket
Proximity, the true depth
A melted pearl, ankle high.

Of children, the porcelain
Of birth remains. Drink

In the metal belly of science
A glad-handed childishness will not do.

Deprived, yet cautious of it's nature
Deprivation would engender curiosity
If not so common, would be
A spur mounted to a tree

Where one would bring the horses
To make them rub there their sides...

huck:
the new Bouville is kickass. not only is the fresh content more numerous and dynamic, but the design itself has been overhauled, and it's so damn slick. in fact, it looks almost...professional. surreal

thanks for spreading the word. is your friend a writer/artist?

Wols? wo ist Wols? the picture (tentatively titled 'Naked Body & Flaming Head') is by my latest recruit, a young man by the name of Harry Sanderson. he does etchings and digital art, and is also in Holiday Stabbings. a larger version of this piece and another original of his will be featured in the Winter Post. it's great to have him on board; now we are four!

i'm so gonna buy your collection. how is the courting of publishers going? much promising interest i hope. is it a "chapbook" (hate that word) affair or a full-blown book?

yes, here in the Midlands it is cold, wet n windy. tonight it will be -3, or so i hear. the trees are growing skeletal. i'd like to see a pic of your town if poss...?

so are you completely tee-total these days? i'm at that place where i can't shun the love of drink, but i anticipate the romance to backfire any day now, which should give me pause for thought...

Happy Thanksgiving to you, sir. biggrin

i'm doing well. trying to keep time for creativity...it's hard balence. that last piece was not one of my best...trying to hard wink thanks for reading though! love your friends pic of Chick-Turkey above!

Ah, gladly. I found it to be an interesting excercise, just observing what popped to mind to write down.

I need to get that address to you soon.

If you want something custom, let me know. I'd be glad to have my work become a part of your work, so long as I get credit!

Yes, I understand now. It's that whole, "Huh? NOW? Why?" thing.

Ooh, poor kitten! Get her to the vet soon, OK?
judas:
i am fairly sure that the ladders represent people, the shorter one the lad i am dating, the taller one some others who have in my romantic sphere in the last few months. so, for certain, in that analysis, the shorter one is sturdier, and preferred.

it's the storm that scares me.

i am happy that someone else, other than my best friend and i gets the hanson love.

Does it all need permission?
The shedding of margins
The startled flowers

The transient expression
Of jubilation, the scar

Of comprehension.

The wind stammers
If sheltered, the

Party-colored bones
Ache in the grayness
Of "What you've done"

"What you've done"

What you've done

Is wave like a spinning

Fan, menstruate
Like a stone, feed

Like the pressing
Of one lip to
A satellite and

Hi.

Not in a terribly clear world of mind to comment on so many wonderful journal entries of friends and bookmarks. Nothing bad or wrong, just swiss-cheese-brain and elastic attention span.

So I'll catch-up and keep up soon. Love to you all.

Even the folks on my friends list I barely hear from, or I've never even heard one single word from. Maybe even especially...

You're like the new Frank Zappa. surreal I dig it.
prockgirlscout:
I wouldn't give it to much creedence. Most of the world's inhabitants are entirely incomprehensible to me so they go in the Zappa category.

I don't know man, if someone was like, I sure could go for a new Frank Zappa song and like Dweezil and that other kid are too busy hosting Pet Stars or whatever the fuck, you could write the new songs for them.

And its comforting to know

It sounds right; to my ears at least.

Oh crivvens - my love life! *groan, groan* and treble *groan*. I've no idea what's going on, and not in the good way that you've got just now. I sent her a wee present for Halloween (her favourite day of the year) and I haven't heard from her since. I put it partly down to her uncle dying a few days before Halloween, which she told me about in a brief e-mail. But even before that I hadn't heard from her in what felt to me like far too long. And I'm just plain dying now - withering like an unwatered house-plant. She's always very busy, with stuff she mostly doesn't tell me about, and she's very involved with/ attached to her family - she lives with her parents and brother (and she's the same age as me, by the way) - so, I don't know what to think about her silences. She gets morose sometimes, like me, and doesn't like to communicate with anyone, even friends, so that's maybe what she's feeling now. It's so frustrating. I just want to see her and talk to her, and get straight how we feel about each other. I'm thinking about asking her to meet me in Glasgow but I'm terrified she'll say "Naaahhhh". I'm still not at all sure she feels about me the way I feel about her. I think she feels the same way, but is just a mysterious, shy creature by nature. But *shrug*, or IDK, as you say. Mixed signals aplenty. Actually, reading this back, it doesn't even sound like she likes me in that way at all. The one case is as likely as the other.

My poor heart frown biggrin

To sever ministrations at their cordiality,
to instaed inspire through twist of trust,
the color of comfort a fountain of
shrewd layer, permeable as to the
penetration of only it's own arc.

To utilize the trite as effective device,
minus irony. Flowery remedy of the acidic,
formulaic as homage, down-washed with
absurdity. Snakemeat and rose petals.

To rhythm chewing on its' own teeth, deep...
