Clean Room

Date and Time  - Jan. 22nd, 2004, 10:42 am

Current Mood  - grateful grateful
Current Music  - traffic

It's wonderful to wake up with a clean room. [info]purpleglitter came over and cleaned my room yesterday afternoon, while I was supposed to be cleaning downstairs. I didn't get much done, but [info]purpleglitter got my room completely clean. It's wonderful. I'm very grateful.

Sometime today I'm going to try to clean the downstairs bathroom. It's so intimidating. I've got to just get in there and get started.

100 Poems, Attempt Eight

Date and Time  - Jan. 22nd, 2004, 02:54 pm

Current Mood  - mellow mellow
Current Music  - traffic

I'm going to try the [info]100poems challenge again. I've tried and failed 7 times. I made it to 55 on my last attempt. Even if I don't succeed, it does inspire me to write more poetry, which is always a good thing.

Ice Memory

Ice Memory

what she saw in the ice
hope and sorrow filtered through crystal prisms
she stared
her journey chosen by snowy progress
and important distance
traveling
running
forgetting
but it is still written in the ice
never left behind
she withdraws into the season
with cranberry cheeks and teary eyes
she dances in the winter's wind

Satan's Highway

Date and Time  - Jan. 22nd, 2004, 05:36 pm


Satan's Highway

devils in september
united from bone
god was not successful

drive into the muddy river
earth's tidings incomplete
here illness is security

a new environmentally friendly hell
waiting outside
every year still poorer

what will be your limit
marx whispers from the grave
never suspect us you wrenched fools

find your favorite SCUD missile
and test your cognition Tuesday
i enjoy the stress

worship the dog
and love the night
they were you once

there is no moral here
no promise of peace
the window is forever cracked

Obviously Anyway

Date and Time  - Jan. 22nd, 2004, 06:24 pm


Obviously Anyway

the toys refused to come to tea
the battered hour was not fit for them
was it possibly just that we were upstairs
and had no idea what they were really up to

conversations continued
to be honest, i don't know when it began
a pair of broken mary janes
too exhausted to walk up the flight of steps

searching the room for old jokes
just avoid the drunken cow
twenty shots of tequila
don't obsess, it was cheap

Negative Divination

Negative Divination

are you looking to function?
first, understand the surface
the shape of an old smoke screen
often belies what is underneath

long days euthanize hope
passing by faded photographs and sick cats
finding that the differences determine meaning
nothing results in nothing

circumstances crystallize in fine grains
everyday evil walks across the platform
and mulberry wine drips slowly from a glass
can you interpret the signs?
