my mother's rocks

rocks. they always bored me. yet my mother found something in their inanimate blandness; they excited her in their age, their quiet experience. we would walk by the river and she would gather stones as it rolled by, happily collecting them in dirty backpacks with broken straps and zippers, excited and intrigued at every new discovery. she should have been a geologist or a history teacher.
she loves history. and rocks. perhaps she had visions
of solemn, dignified Indians-- charcoal, plaited hair framing a brown, stoic countenance ravaged by wi

11.17.08On a bus there is no talking. Eye contact is prohibited. But, accidentally, i find myself staring an impolite, uncultured savage unversed in transportation taboo.
I tend to stare, analyzing through my curiosity the sullen boy
pinching the bridge of his nose kneading nails into his tear ducts thumb and forefinger like thin fangs of an asp trying to clog those tiny holes numb them to keep searing clear venom from leaking out onto his iPod.

11.14.08To my horror a giant truck squatted under the trees today. From its blue bullet belly extended a huge hose accordion trunk poised clumsily
over piles of gold and green and brown leaves,
being raked together like bodies
by a fervent man whose eyes I could not see covered in safety glasses.
Him and his comrade were both deaf, steel blue muffs muting the high, pulsing drone of the beasts wide nostrils; one blind man raking the other awkwardly shifting the cumbersome nozzle creating an empty green space where fall used to be.

Breakfast 10.14.08Clouds hang like soft, purple pieces of construction paper tacked loosely to the ever-ripening horizon. Hills squat low slumbering, maybe folded in prayer gold morning
cresting across their stooped, velvet backs dark rolling foreheads pressed close to the earth leftover twilight shadows clinging to their eyelids.
As I sit here, absently munching on oatmeal I notice how quickly night disappears how brightness spreads across the sleepy sky like some bacterial firework spreading engulfing everything with light. The further the sun Breakfast 10.14.08

love poemBefore you how did I live?   my past has drifted, disintegrated into the mottled blue horizon its pale sails a pinprick memory.
How did I spend my days if not hammocked in your arms, rocking on the laughing wind above the earth nesting with birds pooled near my heart?
How did I stand on my doorstep purple clouds dripping black with night peeking starrily out through their soft breaks without your kisses in my hair hands pressed warm against my shoulderblades?
My recollection of all things past is a haughty rumor love poem

new poetry!

Mon Mar 10, 2008, 12:47 PM

Listening to: Thicker Than Water soundtrack
Eating: rice crackers

WOW!!! This weekend was a great time for poetry. I had to be on a train for 12 hours (combined) this weekend so I had plenty of time to write. I also found someone who also enjoys poetry and we read some for a WHILE on Saturday. Basically, this weekend kicked ass in the way of inspiration AND everything else. The only down side is that I got 5 hours of sleep in a 48 hour period. Bleh.

But life is good! I have a feeling I might suck on my Chem exam tomorrow, though... yikes.

The first 4 recent dev.'s aren't my favorite--the next few afterward are much better.

<3
ENJOY!
