Life knocked me off my platforms
and I found myself spellbound,
baptized in fluorescent light
and it's making me think.
I am a poster girl with no poster
rubbing elbows with the moon,
that draws death dancing
when there's no light passing through.
Standing just outside
the sun is setting on the century,
life used to be life-like
down that manhole of memories.
My mind is disconnected but my heart is wired,
something like elation when you first open your eyes,
because the world owes me nothing
so let's go before I change my mind.

Touching
Callous fingertips
Playing beautiful guitar
Music hurts sometimes.

honeysuckle
i cant discard those sunsoaked flower petal days
the fragrance of the warmed rough sidewalk
and the air slipping past as soft as forgetting
honeysuckle bloom yields a small kiss of nectar
one that rolls and sings across the tongue in f major
and you would yield small kisses
and i would yield also
Literature
soft piano arpeggio, dancing violins
only a note
single,
resonant.
I stood
in a clearance,
wide-open woodlessness
with the wind
cold,
insistent
at my curved back.
there --
lupus eyes
frozen in the dark slivers
between gnarled wood;
when I turn
they'll get me
swifter than
those fighting
whispers
along the stone
and dirt.
claws in my chest
teeth at at my neck
growl in my throat
scream between my teeth
and slipping on my tongue,
dripping out
.
.
.
who knew blood
could be this slick
and gushingly gone?
I didn't know
I had this starved gurgle
in me;
I didn't know
I could be so viciously
consumed --
and in knowing,
I do not
want
to
wake.

A little something I did for May Mix-Up Madness over at 
All lyrics are by Ani Difranco- a phenomenally talented artist, a women who writes words so simple yet so profound, and her music...Guh! Gut wrenching, the truth spelled out all naked and raw, heart strings replaced with guitar strings and a voice that swallows you whole.
Songs I borrowed from Ani:
Platforms
pulse
superhero
swandive
thirty two flavors
untouchable face
not so soft
anticipate
circle of light
to the teeth
dilate
manhole
fire door
welcome to
willing to fight

One Week Left of May Mix-Up Madness!and proudly featured here:
Ignore the fact that is says 2009 - this shiz is happening now yo'
Ok, so...about eight days ago kiwi-damnation asked me to write up the May Mixup Madness journal on the 25th...it's now the 29th and I've yet to do it...blame it on teaching and planning lessons, blame it on procrastination (I'm the queen and you are all my subjects), blame it on the weather...whatever you blame it on, this journal is now here!
Ok, so what is this magic that appears before your eyes? This magic, brought to you from the ProjectDFC desk of Oreos and Caek, is the wonderful:
In which you will be choosing it, finding it and stitching it.
Now before you complain, "Oh mighty and wonderful Queen MagicalJoey, stitching is hard and needles are pointy, pricky and sharp," let me tell you that no pointy things are needed for this challenge...unless you count pencils
