O

SILK AND DELIVANCE

 

 

rain hisses on the hot breath of ashphalt

collects on my smooth tanned arms

LORI written on my wrist darkens

the red heart over the "i" turns a bright crimson

 

the trees are singing with each new gulp

the lawns dancing with every thirsty drop

 

last night i dreamt of you

naked in my ams in those clean sheets

and neon room

 

your scars were vived blemishs on your

white opal flesh

speaking pain your eyes wept with ache

and hurt

we dove beneath the cover of addiction

waves of it crashing into us

knocking down the agonies

drowning us in bitter defeats

 

somewhere in the no mans land of broken

submissions we found each other again

fresh and new

 

the party of nights

of origings

and old beginnings

 

…O…

I felt vaguely uncomfortable with this

like I was being shown a too private, too intimate place. I hope you had Lori's consent to show this. That said it is powerful and painfully beautiful. cheers, Jess

nothing to vacant

this is not about Lori true Loris name is tatooed on my hand and the rain was true the rest was a dream a slight blonde scarred woman collected from many indivuduals and formed into that one peculiar dream the scars were borrowed from a tortured young man who had burned himself many times over He had a tremendous vocabulary and i was always jealous of his many words so it was just a poetic collaberation Lori is fine well and as normal as can be ..O..

ghost of attempt

just wrote the whole thing over something sharper with more meaning distortion like sweet amplified overfed guitars the echo straining but it got lost somewhere oh well
