hateshiploveship:
Is it an empty house, the body alone with its weary old clothes or its bullet holes and severed arteries, last laugh still shining in its teeth?
The road of answers leaps its ditch and descends a dusty hollow where nightbirds coo, Pass by, and the Angel of Nothingness does his nails.
Often sky dazzles over the great breathing earth. Often of its own accord the grain begins...

For Grace, After a Party
You do not always know what I am feeling. Last night in the warm spring air while I was blazing my tirade against someone who doesn’t interest me, it was love for you that set me afire, and isn’t it odd? for in rooms full of strangers my most tender feelings writhe and bear the fruit of screaming. Put out your hand, isn’t there an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside ...

oh man…. what is this song??/
Which one? The first is “En Avril a Paris” by Charles Trenet (it took me awhile to figure this out from the way he pronounced it). The one he plays only with left hand is an arrangement of something by Tchaikovsky, but I’m not sure of the title, he probably says it somewhere...

old-ish things
You tell yourself you’ll be okay as long as you know that things can always change. But the knowledge doesn’t keep you from thinking too much about everyone you’ve lost, or from making wishes without knowing what they mean, like somehow their recipient will know how to decipher them and how to rescue you. It’s an impossible hope, but you curl it around your bare shoulders, because it’s cold in...

Fair Weather This level reach of blue is not my sea; Here are sweet waters, pretty in the sun, Whose quiet ripples meet obediently A marked and measured line, one after one. This is no sea of mine, that humbly laves Untroubled sands, spread glittering and warm. I have a need of wilder, crueler waves; They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm. So let a love beat over me again, Loosing...
