no crow roadit was a benign hope,
this adroit affinity 
for love,
a haughty idea
that replaced old regimes
and tattered philosophies
and contradicted,
trippingly,
the hollow brevity
of life. 
the shortest distance
between two points
is a straight line, straight
as the crow flies.
there are stars overhead
even on the devil's shore
if you know how to look--
between the catalyst
of indolent calm
and reluctant bliss,
where the aesthetics
of wisdom
will ruin you. 
crown him with a tyranny
of mischief,
love him for it until
your heart beats sporadic
and bursts,
drowning you in prurient
scorn.

the moment
you met.  
there are no roads
here. 
sometimes she makes
her own--
long, winding things
that spiral
sinuous and shifting
like wind chimes twisting
on the breeze. 
they never end, but

FrecklesIt’s one of those nights. It seems like almost everything is worth talking about. Either that or we just can’t find a place to stop, which isn’t what either of us wants, anyway.
       We’re lying on the couch sometime in the night (if you asked the hour I could not tell) and all I can really do is enjoy his existence. I never really have to savor it because he’s always there. Not physically always, but always nonetheless. And he’s such a happy soul. It’s my favorite thing about him.
       And suddenly, inspiration rises up inside me. The best idea I’ve had since falling in love.
       Alright, I can’t take that fault. Could anyone? Would anyone? I sure as hell know I would. Why wouldn’t I? He’s so beautiful.
       But anyways, my inspiration.
       “I have an idea,” I say. “Stay still.”

Seven Devils - Dance With a Devil by AshATurner

_{A fine, short section of longer work
found in the "children and teens"
category, this is part of chapters
irresistibly well-written, full of hints
and subtly growing tension.}
