I love:

My Interests

"Those that live by the sea start to rust
Those on the highway fill up with dust." --Twilight Hotel, "Slumber Queen"

TFD Random Picture Generator

"In the Desert" (Stephen Crane):
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter--bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

"She" (Theodore Roethke):
I think the dead are tender. Shall we kiss? --
My lady laughs, delighting in what is.
If she but sighs, a bird puts out its tongue.
She makes space lonely with a lovely song.
She lilts a low soft language, and I hear
Down long sea-chambers of the inner ear.

We sing together; we sing mouth to mouth.
The garden is a river flowing south.
She cries out loud the soul's own secret joy;
She dances, and the ground bears her away.
She knows the speech of light, and makes it plain
A lively thing can come to life again.

I feel her presence in the common day,
In that slow dark that widens every eye.
She moves as water moves, and comes to me,
Stayed by what was, and pulled by what would be.

Yeah...I'm a fucking cliche.

Nostalgia?

I've been noticing more and more often lately that music is a dangerously powerful way to be brought back in time. It's late and I'm exhausted so I'm sure this will be edited tomorrow afternoon to mak...
