Sacrifice

Your glowing orifices rack her into places she cannot see And you unravel her heart slowly Arching beats to shrapnel The child in your eye kicks free and feeds upon dead stars Shocked and blooming "I promise to haunt you," she sighs. Her breath pregnant in her cheek . Don't you want to dissolve her on your seethed tongue While you chase gravity Deeper, deeper.... From a tree in the garden satan flashes light signals to heaven.... god breaks the last seal And oxygen spills into Eve's mouth

You Really...

You really went out there with that one! Dead stars! I only can imagine that you were trying to give the impression of vast distance. Stars burning out before their light reaches our eyes. I believe that is where God lives. That is why it is taking him so long to get back, as he promised. LOL. Haunting me... I have to read this again and again. I really need to think about this one some more. ~ Gee~

Dear Diatom Shells

Your words are always written with beauty and sometimes intrigue, what I have gotten out of this read, is, The garden of Eden, the birth of Eve and temptation, so it may also mean the creation. Forgive me,if I am wrong, it takes me a while,lol, but I do love how u create and fill my head with wonder. this old mind of mine needs all the stimulation it can get. Lol. Love from Lyz. Xx

Diatom Shells,

I've been hijacked by the double post demon. Some things never change. Yours, ~Nina

Dear Diatom Shells,

One motivation for conservatism is the comfort of the constant - a long fertilized nostalgia for the known - that pleasurable feeling that we can predict unfolding. You come to writing, arousing the words into the shape of lovers; making syllables breathless and yet blush-less. It is a sure skill and it touches on that comfort of the conservative each time I read your nouveau erotic-dance and its chronic lugubrious grace. Brian
