ClairE They hit the air, they freeze. Once the words lie on the page you can't crack them open. Stubborn acorn, homemade maple candy. They beguile us with temptation of an answer. 031028

pipedream i can't think of anything interesting or intelligent or pretty enough to put here, so i'll just kind of bask in in wonder of this page if y'don't mind :) 031028

Doar so carefully shorn of depth and meaning,
these glittering dead breaths,
being smashed by careless pedestrians.

Wait for spring, if it should return,

scattered and held without.

whitechocolatewalrus used in expansive nights
cold air
a gust of dark
i see the eye
sparkles
twinges in my arm
clouds overhead
the fogg sitting so still
breathe the air
the still night
fingers cold
toes cold
heart cold
glittering dead breaths.

unhinged pale_beautiful
it always felt more at home
in the cold
have_you_ever_died
to feel frozen
all the way through
exhaling smoke turned to breath
lungs collapse
in the exhausted chilled effort
it was more self_complete somehow
as the rest of the smokers
pass out face down in the snow

oldephebe perfect beauty unhinged..

if you get the time please us with more of your agonizing exaltations of spirit
i'm being totally non-ironic..really..

but i know you're extremely busy with your graduate studies..so i guess i'll take these islands of brief but equisite exhalations..

beautiful breaths guys..like angels finger painting..writing on a mirror sheathed in mist..
