One flight down
there's a song on low
and your mind just picked up on the sound
now you know you're wrong
'cuz it drifts like smoke
and it's been there, playing all along
now you know, now you know
The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single note..
- Norah Jones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
was blind but now I see...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a dream I had
Pressed in Organdy
Clothed in Crinoline
Of Smokey Burgandy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets down
Past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on
- Simon & Garfunkel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stop the larks. Can I have my heart back?
Today I saw a beard in a cloud.
The ground cried my name:
Good-bye for being wrong.
Love helps the sun.
But not enough.
- from "I need, I need", Roethke

I’m dangling myself toward the downstairs, now
and wishing that it wasn’t morning26 lines, February 12, 2007 -
His truck starts, my taffy-colored car shudders on. It’s sleepy, too.35 lines, February 12, 2007

a girl idly dances with her microphone cord,
waiting for the part where she sings.23 lines, February 12, 2007 -
Why is it always here that I want to say these things, to take my watch off. Leave spellbound writs tacked into the brick with pushpins.27 lines, 5 comments, March 6, 2006. In Personal

Cyan314 on April 4, 2005haha, yes I'm back! I was there visiting my friend Charlotte in venice actually, the one who has an AP page (sprezzatura)... it was amazing; all these little winding alleys, poetry in each moment. Have you ever been to italy? It was my first time there and FANTASTIC; my mom grew up in Milan and I've always been begging her to bring me...
