I cut my face on her smile.
She cut her hair in the sun.
We danced in dead red threads
until we stopped and were done.

I cut my face on her mirror.
She cut her hands on a book.
We read from many black pages
until we forgot how to look.

I cut my face on her kisses.
She cut her quick with a file.
We fell upon each other slowly.
We fell and glued together the miles.

She said burn ... together.

Hey squirrel.  Read this, still trying to figure it out.  Lotta great lines.


I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto

Love hurts don't it?  Bunch of damn paper cuts that never heal!  I shouldn't say that...but somedays I can't seem to stop the bleeding no matter what I do.

I have quoted this song before but I tell you it is my theme song...ready?

"And I won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take, so for now lets be real.  I never thought I could feel this way but I've got to say that I just don't get it"  if I ever will.  

Nice writing~

Um, I take it, you had a nice vacation?

grinning widely now...

this, my friend? Is Sand Sculpture!

totally enthralling, and I love the bits of hints of hurt in the love--not that I love ropeburn--grin again--but I do love honesty. And sometimes? that hurts. (exquisitely? )

welcome home, mike.

Thanks, everyone. I'm kinda burned out at the moment, so that's why my presence is a trickle.
