until the day is done


autoerotic is this great project my friend j started. i just clicked through it again. pretty. The definiton of erotica is not limited to striking a pose in front of the lens and pushing a button. An elbow, a wrist, the way clothes can hang on the hips, all of these examples – and many more – are entirely valid definitons of erotica. Don’t be afraid to explore and, more importantly, enjoy the process. ooh. i was just wandering around my bookshelf and found this, and callas is on. just opened up the book, perfect for what we've been talking about. guess why it's wonderful. What's really funny is i almost took "the grail legend" off the shelf. i'm so glad i didn't. it was that or "kissing god goodbye".


It's About You: On the Beach

You have
two hands absolutely lean and clean
to let go the gold
the silver flat or plain rock
sand
but hold the purple pieces
atom articles
that glorify a color
yours is orange
oranges are like you love
a promising
a calm skin and a juice
inside
a juice
a running from the desert
Lord
see how you run

YOUR BODY IS A LONG BLACK WING
YOUR BODY IS A LONG BLACK WING
