e verse thanks guys the q l posted by x at 11 11 am no comments friday march 30 2007 more luck this morning i accidentally put both my legs through one leg hole of my underwear the polyester stretched until it looked like a skirt fortunately i make a ghastly woman good i wasn t ready for that kind of change you weren t ready either posted by 23 at 12 05 pm no comments what if i said what if i said it probably seemed unremarkable the waitress doubted we could eat so much which always happens the guy at the next table made up opinions about paperclips to watch the grins of his family retreat and after hours of anticipation plus a month or two what are you going to talk about i don t even know what we talked about that i was cold i had a problem with his eyes at first it was easier standing as he s tall but at that table i couldn t get away from them not unless i pointed out the paperclip guy had moved on to foreigner and i felt the red crawl around my face and i dropped my food a lot already you want me to fast forward to the stoop and his jacket and the exact speed at which those eyes closed but that s hours away and i won t let you leave me at that restaurant my body held very still with his eyes on me the waitress shook her head over the tempura and when i could bear to move i sipped my sake and of course we ate while he looked and don t call it a moment of grace don t make it anything less than what we earned posted by hb at 1 42 am no comments on the occasion of a dress long dark velvet dark black puddle around the feet secret uniform every woman is born in long silent dark dark dark not a tunnel where the words go and the eyes where cold fingers cold feet into the dark velvet never quite raise your hand tinged purple close to black raise your skirt show off your scars then you were almost warm the sting if it has a temperature the cold is deep long too long soft fabric around the feet as open question as familiar as in pause as in watch the words fall soft black an evening in the city as in breath to swallow every thing never said a graceful slouch the hot sharp silent sophisticated smell of soft velvet rot black sex long putrid evening naked dress

is the cerulean splits the sky this morning like a wise man s hands i don t know what he has in mind the door barricaded with a broom and a chair against the knob but the blue still gets in where it hits the ground a fern begins to grow first the thin purple curlicued stem skeleton of a lawn ornament but as i watch it slowly unwinds rising slow an arabesque of lace the fringe brushes my fingers turns my knuckles raw but i still don t know what to do i raise my hands but the light produces a crushed rope of lava my fingernails are a mess wind caress an old man stroking his beard posted by hb at 9 17 pm no comments unfinished sky j can you recall cerulean days on the farm before nineteen was too many where the western wall flapped in the breeze and the college graduate couldn t get the job done do you remember the scream from the barn and the sharp pupils as we raced for the pitchfork only to realize it was all a joke or the backyard vomit and the energy of the billiard table as we went to work on record covers and pages of the koran what of the overheated affair that left me hiding behind pillars on 120th street a year later it s been too long but i m in coit tower now come up if

miss that 3 45 to atlanta transfer at 6 15 northbound snowy weather ahead slows your pace and you glance left and briefly see one man s work his everything laying there beside polynesian masks and no admittance signs and 6 million people pass every year and don t blink but your children pull on the hem of your skirt and want to paw at the colors that are trapped behind the conveyor belt meanwhile he sits in his drafty room working on the next masterpiece which will sit above a gas fireplace somewhere where the houses have no soul and the roads are wide with freshly painted yellow lines that get more attention from speed trap junkies than anything you can see from the line at the pizza stand posted by 23 at 6 32 pm no comments sunday special bad art posted by 23 at 4 16 pm 1 comment friday march 16 2007 a day for drought the day is wet and it will rise like tropical mold on a loaf of bread it is unnecessary and arrogant and slow it is damp and deaf from the rain s rhythmless drumbeat on the night s tin roofs so i rope the clouds in like a paniolo and hoard them in rocky pasture silver wire strung as afterthought around the perimeter and watch the ferns curl their fingers inward finally chastised as the clouds grow fat i wring them out into a corner of porous earth every three days or so otherwise they graze as quietly as stoned sheep after several weeks when the heliconia has turned to kindling i belly flop in the last of some tidepond s brackish water and watch the black crabs dance i bury my fingers in the gasping sand posted by hb at 5 10 pm no comments perhaps it s the hyperbolic dreams of sun stained curtains silver flashes more precious than gold leaf hold tight your children in jewelery boutiques too much empathy resulting in periodic shifts from
