i am
pale, withered, squinting, unworthy
sweat pricking, unshaven, sponging up dust from cars
bright, rough, blind, grime
but not here in a reflection, not in the old glass
skin still drinking from a shower
an hour past
sound only muted
a faint station coming on AM across a border
noisette
brun
a tossed and sliding nest of

you have to be smaller than me

i see it only as the sun sees the east at last light
under stripes of streetlight

my cheeks burn
every pore is shot through with needles
feet dielectric, passing only smooth current
nape and nape are cauterized
my chin bristles with carpet tacks
bobby pins through skin symmetrically connect both arms

i won’t let go this time
i will sew your fingers interlaced to mine

all sound and tacked into one
sliding down, a sled
bumping along the spine

I don’t know how you go from leaving me a note about Dale Earnhardt, Jr. hats to this, but you do it well. I really love your writing.

I am asspechuly fond of the word dabotchery. Ooh, is that girl single? I think I found her perfect word mate on eHarmony. They’d have the most awesome love letters ever.

I do like the sunshine. I once said you can never be sad on a sunny day–it’s not true, but the sun does seem to help should you let it. I actually managed to come up with a logo for a contest that I liked so I was wrong about ideas n’ such. And, for the record, your ideas were good and always appreciated. So there! 😛 I don’t know if I could draw a cute raccoon or beaver on aphone though. I think I’d end up making ’em look deformed!

yeah, hi, me again. if you see this within the next hour or so (it’s 9:30, roughly), i’m working on a christening invitation. besides a cross, can you think of any other visuals? i know they said no to the dove b/c it is communion…so, anything besides a cross you can think of that is subtle enough for a christening/baptism card? much appreciated.

Ack, one more thing! I’m sorry! Since it’s on the religious theme…what about for dogs? I know, strange…someone wants religious dog collars. Anything besides a cross for that one? I promise! I won’t leave any more notes today (or the rest of the week if you want!) THANKS so much, though!

thank you! i’m not winning for the record! probably for the best since the winner is sold on etsy and i would hate for the purchasers to equate my patterns with a horribly noticeable error in pattern connection. maybe you’ll want to change your vote when you can see them at home! 😉

Truly exquisite… You’ve always written such wonderful, introspective pieces, Mark, but it seems since the move you’ve really getting in touch your inner creative muse… And what a phenomenal thing it is. *smiles* Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Hope you’re doing well. *HUGS* Take good care.

RYN: You know, I can totally see that… Truly. *HUGS* Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend, Mark.

I do love me some wings (with a salad sometimes)! Whenevs! Any ol’ time is good by me! Of course, I’ll say that and then we’ll have to push back wing night by like 300 months, but I think I’m fairly free the next week or so. Let me know if you have a night that works best!
