nocturne communique/nocturnal e-mission

mercury may have the best of me, but you've got the beast in me


textual relations/e-ruptions

in swedish, there is a word for "to dance intimately with," "tryckare," ie, to "squeeze" ("trycka") oneself against one's partner.

i'm watching the rats children detectives falling tiles. everything's coming down, everything's falling into place, only it's not obvious, not where you'd expect, not like fitting a round peg in a round hole. there are circuits underground and there are places they stick out, but they don't tell you anything. too busy staring at the back of yr head, words and what they meant, the possible achievement of a warm bed.


figures with wings folded stand in doorways ashen. embrace and flight.


you tell me that the artist died. and i think you mean yr friend. the one i laughed with once. and i am shaken. i am half-asleep and scared and wondering if it was his lungs.


3 words articulating an affinity for "queer": nineties, activism, academia.

2009 (all the time? black eyes?): good clean fun. an invitation to suggestion, connectivity, lateral movements, restraint. restraint - a guarded heart and handcuffs. language that is a code that is a code. evocative as opposed to literal. not bent on communication, authenticity, expression, delivery. not a key in a slot, but a door unlocked. not in my face, but me with my arms and hands out. it doesn't come easily, but it is given freely.


maybe it's starting to snow, and i'm starting to see, and i see yr big brown dogged dolphin eyes. desperate but not with sex, and the lack of sex desperation is a turn-on. and the sidewalk is too cold for you and not fast enough for me, so i suggest diner coffee. and i bathe you in rosewater and cover yr cracks with crisco and show you the possibility of finding pleasure in our pain.

a circle is simple is dirty is a hole.

i am living vicariously through myself, when i should be living vigorously.
