kerry	seeing one of my ancient blathes here is giving me the warm-and-fuzzies. thank you thank you thank you!	211209
	...
tender_square	you've been an incredible writer for sixteen years, kerry. it's amazing to bear witness to your brilliance both now and then.	211209
	...
kerry	you're really kind. and you've also sent me down this red rabbit hole--how is it that sixteen years is an eternity and also a fleeting moment?	211209
	...
raze	(honestly, i would have put about fifty of your blathes here by now if i hadn't already linked to circus_imperfect_beauty and moth a while back, and if i wasn't trying to mix up my "finds". part of what i hoped this blathe might do — and it makes me so happy to see other people adding to it! — is encourage this very kind of archeological experience. there's so much here. so much i still haven't seen, even after all these years. and running into an earlier version of yourself when you're still right here is such a strange, unique, surreal thing.)	211209

e_o_i	blood_red_sharpie_how's_it_gonna_be - and I see it's part of a series I never new existed, making me wonder how much of early red_blather I still don't know	231209

	...
e_o_i	le_coeur_episse by leif ...although Google tells me "episse" isn't the word and suggests "Les épices sont bonnes pour le coeur et la mémoire" (spices are good for the heart and for memory).	240222
	...
raze	hitting "from" on cobwebs led me to letting_go_of_it, which led me to what misstree wrote there, and ... jesus christ, the words you people weave and have woven. sometimes you take my breath away.	240223
	...
e_o_i	how_the_little_wonder_feels (I don't know who they are but what they said about coming to a moment of change resonates)	240224
	...
warmthofrelease	i_just_needed_to_say (that you were right about bijou)	240229

	...
raze	all_was_all	240411
	...
e_o_i	run_away (mostly by nom)	240413
	...
raze	real_4 (i knew from the first line this was a poem about richey edwards. it didn't disappoint.)	240418
	...
e_o_i	cr0wl_at_the_ace_nyc (About a daughter's film school festival and novel luxuries. Granted, I got on this writer's wrong side later when raze called him out for putting others' words here without giving sources and he wouldn't say he did anything unfair, but he also wrote interesting things of his own, a lot from before I started writing here.) (gaah, I am too wordy)	240421
	...
raze	i've put some of his stuff on this blathe too, though they've come from about six million different names (dude liked his pseudonyms). he did write a lot of good things once upon a time. that always made the whole literary_thief thing doubly strange to me. but i guess some blather mysteries will never be explained.	240421
	...
e_o_i	photos_here_on_my_desk by megan (especially paragraph 3)	240422
	...
raze	compulsion_second	240424
	...
e_o_i	onward (Surreal flowery descriptions with a two-step rhythm - "bitter tears...humble places...morphing eyes" - that gradually lengthens into more flowing sentences and then retreats. By Sonya.)	240425
	...
e_o_i	re cr0wl: after I just experimented with a short_story here, I found "prooley's_shoes" on three_words. The goofy word flow and neat wrap-up knocked my proverbial socks off.	240427
	...
e_o_i	(unless he stole it from Douglas Adams, I dunno...but I joke, I think)	240427
	...
e_o_i	scandent (by raze)	240429
	...
raze	i remember being proud of that one when i wrote it, but i hadn't read it since then. the me of then and the me of now both thank you. today, i'd like to nominate better_than_this for the poem kerry wrote twenty_one years ago.	240501
	...
raze	ghost_cats (i miss birdmad)	240503
	...
e_o_i	me_moment (bandersnatch) (being in the wrong place, reading)	240503
	...
e_o_i	infinite_you (the swinger of birches)	240531
	...
raze	somambulist (even the missing n can't knock it down a peg)	240612
	...
e_o_i	street_scenes_redux (birdmad)	240614
	...
raze	(i swear, almost every time i land on a birdmad blathe i want to put it here. i hope the wind brings him back someday.)	240615

e_o_i	nodeshells (a collage poem by raze - this was just last year but I didn't see it then)	240624
