plunging and preening:
spread wings, waggled tails.

To Darwin, on Hearing of the 22 Chronometers Did the ticking drive you mad?
Twenty two clocks to tie you
to Greenwich, to the damp land,
to the paved streets and spires
and the blank glazed windows
of progress and age? Did time
become fathoms deep, and the
dwindling abyss transform to
thoughts of deep, deep time?
The blind eyes of bottom dwellers,
the feelers of those that survived,
the wellings of primordial soup
perhaps flavoured your thoughts.
(you never saw them. We know
you never saw the elemental broth,
the creatures like to dinosaurs
in a Blackpool of phosphorescence.
But the mystery, perhaps. The thought
that things exist beyond your imagining.

Desirous Desirous—
enveloping and preserving, we
fall into an endless age of
soft skin
rough hands
and stars that blind
behind closed eyes.
Time Divides—
a great gulf churns,
filled with a cacophony of our secrets,
needs and desires separating the press of today from
soft skin
rough hands
and your dark eyes that bind me.
Like A Mirror.
the sweetest sighs
layered upon, drenched within and
threaded through,
my soft skin
with your rough hands and resonant voice-
hearing my heart's desire through the shroud of this surface.
See. Behold. Embrace. Entwi

executed crescendo.

Before the Boat Leaves: Freedom by =angeljunkie
This eloquent, interesting piece of
prose portrays the struggle of an estranged
son saying goodbye to his dying father. It
is engaging, slightly experimental, and filled
with the beautiful use of language I've come to
expect from this burgeoning young author.

Sweet Innocence "I wonder if pirates sailed that ship," cooed Willie, twirling a blade of beach grass between his stubby childish fingers, "don't you think that might be a pirate ship?"
"Don't be silly," Carris quipped boldly, without looking up. She lifted a palm full of sand and let it drift through her fingers. "Why would pirates live in a two-person rowboat?"
Although only two years older, those two years gave Carris courage that didn't exist in her six year old brother Willie. Willie was a shy boy, with sad blue eyes and hair that fell in limp curls. Carris's features were more angular; her eyes glowed whenever she corrected Willie. As she saw it, tha
Sweet Innocence by *TalkativeMute
As the suggester said, "With a way
of writing as if in a dream, Sweet Innocence
is full of beautiful imagery that reminds us
that a story doesn't have to be about something
huge to have a way of grace and beauty."

facebook is like a jail. You sit around, waste time, have a profile picture, and get poked by guys you don't really know.

"You've a good heart," she told him. "Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go." Then she shook her head. "But mostly, it's not."
