Myth in mercury, how to disturb me:
Ribs like a tree on fire,
Impotent snow
Peaches in a stench
Boredom of voices
Hatless when the sun declines:
"Kindly, sir, no pain."
You ask
Is this random?
Enough, I guess
To offer milk, white lace boiled in the blood
Of a ghost. I do not know, but I do remember
Hunger is verse to vessel. Something...

I opposed the method
And lost the dragon. I
Wished a single wish
Hands braving palm to palm
Like prayer, a flame to hair
Eats and releases, pleases
Horn and scale. What hell
When heaven repents?
Beautiful horror. Sugar
Of fine-ground bone
Fills furrow of hindsight,
A home where single
Dancer penetrates gesture
And sweet memory is cake, a
Grave, a sour city, so...

Thanks for the advice, man - it was very helpful 
She lives on the other side of the country. But it's a small country.
I actually found out something else on Cafeastrology.com - Venus is in Virgo in her chart. And having read up on what that means, it explains a lot, as far as her behaviour towards me over the last year goes. I think I know where she's coming from now.
See you,

Schiele was the first fine artist I was ever into - I was obsessed with him in my late teens, really related to him. His negative spaces are sublime, I agree; but then there's little about his work that isn't, especially his earlier stuff. I find myself re-inspired by his work roughly once every year. I know what you mean about not feeling able to better his stuff, but I like to think I have it in me to do just that. I feel that the key to painting is colour, that is, leaving drawing out of it; and I would've loved to have seen Schiele do some of his characteristic figure paintings without using his magnificent line, just the watercolours/gauche - PURE COLOUR PERSPECTIVE! That's my aim - to do what Schiele did, but without lines.
Kokoschka actually did some excellent watercolour figure paintings without drawing, but his "sense" of drawing wasn't half as good as Schiele's so they're not as effective.
Astrology is really interesting and helpful. I've done my birth chart online before and it's always said that I have Leo rising; but when I re-did it last night (on the same site, but they've changed their format), it said I had Virgo rising. I don't understand it, but Virgo rising actually makes enormous sense, much more than Leo; I'm very Virgoan in many respects, and I feel strangely comfortable with being part Virgo. This also explains certain aspects of my relationship with my "crush", because of her having Venus in Virgo - there's a commonality but also a conflict, because Virgoans are so judgemental. We do criticise each other a lot. I feel this is a good thing, though - we sort of hold a mirror up to each other, which allows us to see and correct our flaws, which wouldn't happen if we were a perfectly harmonious match. I don't set much store by supposedly perfect matches.
Time will tell.
Thanks for listening,

i enjoy reading your poetry so much every day. sorry if i dont comment on it all the time but sometimes i feel like what i would say would be so small (? cant think of the right word right now) compared to what you write. do you usually meditate before writing? would you say its like a channelling? that seems to be when i write my best poetry. when just let it flow.. i do love it though, your poetry. 
and i lucked out with those dishes..my husband did them.
im soooo glad i didnt have to because the smell i was smelling while he was washing them was making me gag. 
kinda like a dirty fish or turtle tank.

I just wish it were as easy as that. I'm the only female in my entire district...and the guy that's the trouble maker is the golden child of the same district. I'm trying to make a name for myself here...and if I stand up and make a stand of this, I'm going to ruin my reputation before I get one, you know what I mean? I need to be sure I have a solid team so when I am up against some big tough shoplifter, they're actually going to back me up.
But, at the same time, this kind of treatment is not worth it.

Too simple fires
Burn out quickly.
(Happy holiday. Which or
What, it doesn't matter,
Just wake up.)
There's moon-burn
On the mantlepiece,
Heart warms
On hearth,
No boundries. "Now"
Is the lost child
Of "nevermind".
Or do
Mind, but
Say it
Quickly
In happiness...

Heh, silly...
Thank you. I think you're right about the pain fading. It's still pretty raw right now, though.
The trade sounds fair to me. You'll probably have to pay way more for shipping, though.
I'll tell you when my necklaces are on my website.
I didn't see the post and didn't get to copy the poem. Can you e-mail it to me?

Billyfivecrows... I like the sound of that. Maybe it would be best if I didn't ask the meaning, to maintain an air of mystery

the walleye poem goes not well.
the "oh" was because I was listening to "Dominus Regnavit" (actually, I still am, it's on repeat) and that combined with this entry reduced me to the linguistic level of an ape.
