LORELEI
You call, I sail
with clipper-ship speed:
the wind and I drawn by your song -
soft as the gentlest zephyr
[piccolo, flute, Aeolian harp]
and loud as a cumulonimbus crack
resistance is futile, nor is it desired
On, on towards the lurking deep
where, Davy-Jone'd, the sundered
bones lie scattered: my cutter slices
through the skin of miles and waves,
parts the surf of years and lives,
ever on until the ribbed and rocky reef
claims another wreck, and at last, lifeless,
I fail to hear the plaintive note
imbue your siren song.
Sing on, my Lorelei,
for a time will come upon a time
and a life upon a life
when I wi
Once upon a time
You and I
Became the smoke in a saxophone song
In a starry still-wet city
In a moment
That didn't quite happen
So much as it was imagined
I sleep and imagine it again
Me and RP got on the last meteor to the planet Lavablob.
A wise choice?
No idea.
Lavablob is called Earth these days by the cool kids; but way back then, Lavablob was all rocks and lava and nowhere to sit.
The meteor-journey was ass-long and the planet looked completely different from the brochure by the time we got there; not to mention the name change.
But it was fun on the way -- we spent most of the trip in frozen stasis. At least we were supposed to.
We would sneak out onto the rock some nights and play tricks.
Frozen passengers have a high tolerance for getting flung overboard.
(It was an accident!)
We figured out how to steer
If you were rushing to and almost late for the most important meeting of, say, your career
And you saw Jesus on the way,
And he asked you to stop with him to admire and/or bask in the flowers
On some kinda yummy, sunny day..
That'd be weird.

I see you've played Knifey-Spooney before..
..
If war is bad
And love is good
Where people die
When evil should
And greed resides
Where giving could:
Why does man post
Where life once stood?
..
Post?
Yeah. Like, a flag or whatever. Imperiamism and all that.
Yeah but, post?
Hey, shut up. I don't tell you how to write..
True.
..
I don't think God would want people to bow to 'im if

how am i able
to bottle our bodies
and the blanketless
between
that holds
only our breath
as it brushes the seams
of our blistering lips
and battling tongues
that form whispers
and moans
from our mouths
as we merge, melting
in
with the other
in
meticulous meshing
of skin-
scented covers
in
armswrapping
legswinding
thrusting of lovers
in
words
of contextual, sexual
colors
and syn-
tax sonatas
of textual
mutters?
how can i write
the truth of
embrace
and the honesty
of feeling
your hands on my
waist?
and how can i spell
out the way your
skin tastes
or the feel
of my thighs
pressing
in on your face?
i am not able
to market such
sighs
three point five years ago
my marriage fell apart
and i met you.
three point five years ago
you made me a crossword puzzle
themed on our then short-lived time
together
we locked eyes and i could not--
no matter how i tried
ex-husband-to-be at my side--
look away.
as surely and meticulously as you drew
the squares of the crossword
you drew me in.
as calculated as the clues,
some tricky, some fun, some senseless,
some beautiful-
you became all these things to me.
we were one of those equations
(the ones you love so much)
that could never make sense to me
no matter how long i stared at it,
trying to figure it out.
But
I woke today with a determination. One I hadn't felt in some great time. A determination to regain my creativity, my inspiration and motivation. To regain my life, thus leading to (hopefully) a happier future. I won't go into details, but it's been a difficult 6 months for me, and an uncertain several years. I don't know what lead me to wake with this energy today. But I did. And throughout the day I've thought about how to obtain what I want, what I need to make these changes. I've reminisced about my past, wrong and right choices, as well as the involuntary circumstances that lead me here. I played around online, searching for a ne
