suffocating hot in the summertime... and Leif lives on the second floor Mr. Solitaire this attic apartment with the cavecurved walls and the ping ping ping of leakyroof pots and pans the metallic tasting stairs so many... 3 floors worth for 3 feet of mama's boy for cheap paneling with eyes living in them.... for an ancient dark tree that loved me in thunderstorms for centipedes that didn't love my cowboy costume for the dark-eyed babysitter that liked her boyfriend's pimples better than my childhood for the cannonstorm my mother's eyes found panic to love ........... they were down there on the second floor the deep voices of faulty gods important as forest trees but I rang ringing my boyvoice down on them from the third floor steps high pitched and and urgent it's urgent hey hey godpeople? this is urgent so urgent I will help you come to you journey through this my finger....reaching to theirs on a sacred ceiling or was it actually a flashing ball of lightpainmovement.. this traveling to the depths of grownup decay....and I tumbled down from on high... I saw them then as redwoods with scared faces how many faces will fit in your sky? lifted up to heaven heaven with it's one cheek and wonderfully smelling neck and two big shoulders and the horizon fastening itself around you... keeping you from spinning off into the dizzy unknown I just wanted to say... the timer went off for the cake I'm sorry I fell please, the cake, it will burn ping ping ping |

Good God Bri . . . you just took me up that staircase into a reverie, placed me in that attic within your storm and I saw that boy pleading . . . then I stood, right back on that staircase again how many faces will fit in your sky? lifted up to heaven heaven with it's one cheek and wonderfully smelling neck and two big shoulders Good God I saw them lit in the night from the thunder . . . Love seeing you writing and this mannn Bri . . you made me look deep a masterpiece . . . (then you will tell me oh this? THIS? ohhh this is just a thang . . .) *smile* BooPetalWing xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (11-02-2003 09:59 AM).] |

I got the distinct impression of listening to the sounds of a room's old radiator beginning to heat in winter transition. Well done, Sir... |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Oh my gosh, and I just watched "The People Under The Stairs" last night, wow, through thin walls and crawlspaces you can hear so much more, I wish there were others within my world! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brian, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

" for cheap paneling with eyes living in them.... for an ancient dark tree that loved me in thunderstorms for centipedes that didn't love my cowboy costume for the dark-eyed babysitter that liked her boyfriend's pimples better than my childhood for the cannonstorm my mother's eyes found panic to love" There is only one thing to be said more profound than that bri: "hey hey godpeople? this is urgent" Made me grow arms to comfort. Clear blue liquid light. (love you)  |
