starstruck. i say your name like a rocket ship,
spewing fireworks and hard engineering;
i am floored by how many yesterdays i have missed with you.
i say your name like you placed the stars in the sky.
yet, you didn't align the stars; you just aligned me.
"starstruck" by *saltwatersleep
Says the suggester: "Poetry isn't my strongest suit,
but I know what I like; short, sweet, and beautiful."

Dominic. it crests,
inhaling us,
our surfboards,
our balance,
the water
imprinted with our
souls, if it all froze
you'd be cast
the die is cast, Caesar said
you said he said, if it all froze
I'm counting on you
Rome's counting on you
past ten
that's when the stairs diffuse
each step so painful,
we know what waits at the bottom
of the sea the landing
busts submarine skin
steel plated, snake eyes weighted,
you blew a gasket
Marie Antoinette asked me yesterday
how we managed to hang ten
for so long on the wave
of words, of men, of sex, betrayal, sheer luck;
the wave of eyeballs, emerald hummingbird's wings, jasper kisses of monar
"Dominic" by *claytonwoolery
From the suggester: "Touching emotion saturated in universal
imagery, a universal energy. I hope everyone gets the chance
to feel this way."

Stuck The alarm clock gently chimed a tune at nine in the morning. Shannon was used to hearing it so she'd wake up and make her daily trip to the lab for her blood draws. After six months, she didn't know how she wasn't waking up on her own.
Her diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis didn't come as a surprise; every woman in her family from those who were direct blood related to those who had died before she was born had had the disorder. As Shannon was moving away to go to school half the country away, her mother said to expect to get it at some point and that she should never smoke, no matter what. Shannon

bye. baby. I slammed the door to my Malibu and keyed the engine. It was eight o'clock and the fucker didn't call. Fifteen minutes later, when I was driving down Hancock Street, was when he finally answered the phone.
"What the fuck," I spat before he spoke. "I fuckin said to call me every Tuesday and Thurday. What fuckin day is it?"
There was movement in the background. "Thursday," he slurred after a long moment of contemplation.
"Fuckin h- John. What are you doing now? Don't tell me. For chrissakes, don't say it."
"I had to, baby." His voice was soft. Seductive. The mere sound of his voice calmed me. As fucked up as it was, it calmed me. The anger

Vouloir Je veux m'étendre contre ton corps
Sentir tes cheveux s'envoler sur le sable
Et puis me perdre en toi une fois encore
Avant de mourir d'extase, le cœur instable
Je veux parcourir ta peau de mes doigts fous
Pour mieux découvrir tes ultimes secrets
Et puis recueillir sur les bords de tes yeux doux
La rosée nouvelle, soudainement perlée
Je veux te retrouver à moi rien qu'une fois
Me désaltérer à la source de ta voix
Et puis goûter tes lèvres dignes d'un roi
Qui n'en a pas voulu, folie qu'est cela
Je veux m'endormir au creux de ce nouveau jour
