deb i long to show you
all the things that move me,
everything i couldn't
begin to do justice to on paper-

that canyon in the mountains
where the world was new again~
walking barefoot on the beach
just to discover the feel of sand~
to gape, not noticing how large your
eyes have suddenly become
upon seeing downtown Chicago
for the first time~
the wonder that fills you
at holding an hour-old baby...
(not ours yet, i hope i hope)

i want you to see
everything i've seen,
feel the complete awe
i've found in this world,
and lost again
when anchored to this place
alone~

Photophobe 8 times a day I check my pusle. Have I had too much coffee again, or do I just feel like I'm burnig for no reason.

The glistening skies drive me to distraction.

The vultures circling me are driven off by the storm crowds hanging over my shoulder.

But no matter how far I run, I'm drawn back to the anchor points in my life.

Art and Love aren't the only important things in life.

But it sure seems that way.

lycanthrope he would return home from a night of classical music, of a piano fantasy about the moon.
The moon would be high in the sky and fully reflective the whole drive home, and he would hear the light trickle and heavy smatter of piano keys as every stoplight turned and at every distant lapping of a wave on a shore.
And he'd take the music home to her. She could never stand it directly,
it was always too quiet or too loud, or if moderate, too much like life.
But he would come home, and unmoor her for a bit, translate it, untill she felt the beauty in the way it gave his arms strong sudden confidence, in the way it gave his lips and eyes a beguiling mildness. In the way tension built and slipped. He would be heavy on her, and unapologetic, and then she would do the same, they would move and the bed would creak musically like the straining bellows of a barely watertight ship, a ship on the edge of surrendering integrity for the feeling of water rushing through it, removing the power of it's anchor. He was her anchor at moments, holding her there so she could see the ivory like reflections of the moon over unknowable depths. Holding her there so she knows that to move any farther would be endless. And then they are anchored in warmth and turning, and the music fades away.
