Friends

lie to me if you will
at the top of beringer hill

call me back to, back to you

When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal

I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry

(also, I was going to post a bit of Frank O'Hara and then I remembered it was here I learned of him at all! <3)

"Unhappy Hour"
Richard Siken

Going to a party where I knew you'd be,
dudes bobbing for boyfriends, eyes shining
like candy apples. I want to be a lamppost,
or the history of plumbing. I am tired of being
mysterious. You are drinking rum next to
the laughing skullheads and I am unhappy
because I am dead and I miss you. Once
a year, day of the dead, you think you'd think
of me more often. These people shoulda
dressed up as their best selves to mix and
mingle in the courtyard garden. If everything
is green then why do I feel so blue? I would like
to be a plain-faced man, living with you quietly.
Leave the party but you can't hear me you can
no longer hear me. The dead are boring.
Enlightenment is boring. We can read the minds
of dogs. We make the black cats scatter across
the grass. There is a better party where I am not
a ghost and you are not Aquaman. I am like
a pornstar, we are all of us pornstars aching
to get back into our terrycloth robes. Gives me
a headache, all this intellectual stimulation.
It's cold out tonight. I am here by the back wall,
in the museum of the afterlife. I would like to
be a flickering cowboy. I like the live music--
we only get the recorded stuff here. I would like
to be alive again. I would like to say something
about grace.

Unrelated: Why do people feel that other people strangers' business is their business and that they have the right to ask any deeply personal question that they want and then get frustrated when the stranger doesn't answer? And how are you supposed to respond to one of those bothersome people asks such a question?

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Title:  Tokens of Memory
Day/Theme: November 9 // “the proof of living that you gave me”
Series: xxxHolic
Character/Pairing: Clow/Yuuko
A/N: I haven't written for a while--D: Labs are hell. I should be studying for my bio test.  Anyways, this is dedicated to all the Clow/Yuuko fics floating around here. Because of them, I can't look at this prompt without thinking CLOW/YUUKO! =D
...Cluuko? Yuow? why can't this shipping have a nice mix name? D<
Oh, and Yuuko might seem like she's in denial, but it's really anger. Resentful anger.
Excerpt: She watches her lily white hands disappear, the lips that used to kiss him, the black rivers that ran down his shoulders.
( She does not consider herself as alive. Even with her too-warm skin and constant sake cravings... )

"Do you like street music?" said Raskolnikov, addressing a middle-aged man standing idly by him. The man looked at him, startled and wondering.
"I love to hear singing to a street organ," said Raskolnikov, and his manner seemed strangely out of keeping with the subject--"I like it on cold, dark, damp autumn evenings--they must be damp--when all the passers-by have pale green, sickly faces, or better still when wet snow is falling straight down, when there's no wind--you know what I mean?--and the street lamps shine through it . . ."

I havent' posted in about a week - for several reasons. First of all, bento # 560, 2which should have been a little more celebratory ended up rather pathetic - but then it was made after I came home from a party and I was pretty far from being sober, so all things considered, it turned out ok I think. Then I was busy with various RL stuff, then out internet had a break down (OMG withdrawal-victims screaming and shouting all over the place!)
But now I'm back ^_^

with the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street.
