Hurricane WeatherFingernail picking at the closet mine  Til' it hits the backroom's filthy swine  And finds those old racks filled with leather;  It leaves a trail that stinks to high  And sticks the throat like hurricane weather—   
In that sleepy, sweetly sticky land of language crimes  Where half-filled glasses bide their time  Imprisoned speech dragged to nooses,  With words no one uses  And the fools that bruise it     can't blanket abuses        with rhyme. Hurricane Weather

Upon WakingI am dreadfully aware of how long I've been asleep.  The back-and-forth motion of this joyride  Has jarred my subconscious;  And though my pupils remain dilated,   
so that all is light and all at once,   
I am desperately aware  of how awake I've yet to be. Upon Waking

SwallowmarksThere was no difficulty in gauging your trails:  I stared onto your peak like all Olympus;  knew the pitfalls that would snag my heels,  the way my chest would beg for mercy.  Soaked your chill as I played the markhor,  grappling the distance between us with  
footsteps slow  
and wrists acquiver,  cold for lack of handhold.   
I saw the way before me clear  like a red sea of frost and stone;  I unclench my chattering teeth,  rub some splint of warmth back to my bones,  shake the frostbite,  ripping off like petrified bark coming undone.

Psalms EulogizedOckham never fashioned a razor  that was a guillotine for gods and faeries:  little hopes kept the arrow blunt—  and the blades well-greased for a final cut.  Such hopes might have once saved us from our apathy  such delusions might have saved us from inadequacy;  but as far as filthy winds go,  
you were a breath of fresh air.   
Now it is clear: reason alone  
cannot dispel the single-celled labyrinths  and the combined weight of a moral nothingness—  the holy ghost unsettles my nights  like tree branches creeping over windows,  like closet monsters stealing acr Psalms Eulogized

Devious Journal Entry

Sat Mar 8, 2008, 10:03 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Hard Attack
  • Reading: Don Quijote de la Mancha
Well, here I am. And still alive, seeing as we had a tornado warning at school yesterday. It had been raining like hell all through the morning, and raining hard. But by 10:00 it had begun to really pick up, and the power went out for a while. I was right in the middle of changing classes when I heard the warning. Yes, we all had to go into the halls and back up against the walls. I have doubts about the effectiveness of that technique, but then again, I'm no safety expert. I was disappointed because I didn't get to see the tornado (and I've never seen one myself), but I was told later that it never came close to the school anyway. It kept on raining well into the afternoon, then stopped sometime in the evening. And this morning, I was greeted by gusts of wind pounding the roof, bending the trees right by our house. I'd like to meet the bastard who thought it'd be funny to call this permanent weather disaster the "Sunshine State." ...Peace out. --Bethlehem Lights

Hello, my name is Linda Belle. I'm writing to you because you have or already have been picked as one of the 100 deviants chosen for *The100DProject, which I am the founder of.

*The100DProject is a unique, year long, project the picks 11 deviants each month to be added to our featured deviants. You were suggested by a peer of deviantArt because you were recognized as a creative, talented, and inspiring artist who deserves more recognition.

We (the over 70 members, seniors, and deviantArt staff) will be following your artistic career for one year, as well as supporting you by featuring your work in our journals. I will also be personally featuring your deviations in my own journal. The most current feature is this journal: [link]

All I ask in return is that you keep me updated with your work or any other information you would like me to spread. Oh, and I'd also like to be your friend! :)

I hope all is well with you! Continue with you wonderful work! We will be watching! Namaste! :hug:
