Posting Apocalyptic

Demons always have red eyes


Overheard: Woof woof! Woooof! Aaaaaaah Oooooooh! I love you, Back Bay!


The dogs, the wolves, that are in all of us--the souls of Paradise--it's ecstasy when your skin can sing with chills and love.


InuYasha quote of the week:
As Kagome sat on her bed making these calls from her room, Inuyasha waited, content to give her some “privacy” as he listened to her through the closed door telling her lies to humans.
Everyone's got to have limits. Mine is when the strawberries are in my mouth and that's all there is to think of, not even the sleeting through the open window.



It wasn't meant to be sad. But she kept looking away, at the stars, craning her neck to look out the hatchback's window as best she could from the back seat. She got quiet always when we passed this intersection. She always was a drama queen. She told the best stories; even ones that were meant to be sad. I listened as she reworked the events, making important things into side notes, making subplots and satires out of the most mundane of things. We went to go eat, and this guy was there, staring at us--probably because we were half naked in the middle of winter--but what was important was when he looked at us, and said in this agonizingly slow--I mean, turtle versus hare slow--voice "Can I take that tray from y'all?" We were trying so hard not to laugh, and my bra strap had snapped, and it just made me remember why I have to leave this state. Really. Now.

Slowly, he told her about long sleep, about the divine interventions she had missed while napping.
trick
tickle
suffering of the lungs
the oil of the surface of water
trickling
Time is wasting
waist deep in water
the sum of the puns
equals that special number



unlike the savages of her day
she moves in sallow light with glee
not desiring more than what she sees
not informing the cold rooms with fires.

usual cautions surfeiting the way
she slightly limps to the shaddows wtih ease
the elves and imps about her free
her hair from binds and silver wires
