RG,

astute observation of my theft not really an allusion, though.

wild honey

While she lay sleeping, I missed the sound of her voice. The quiet hum of her breathing reminded me as a child living at the end of a lonely road near the red barn in the grasp of an almond orchard, in spring I’d watch the bee keepers chimney stack off white wood boxes with inch and half long slats ...

naked

I suddenly remember
being molested
by an unruly horde of butterflies.

Fluttering mercilessly,
tickling me endlessly.

I remember
seeing my hot breath in the cold air
as I escaped the cave
and catching my breath,
then jumping back in.

Some things
you can’t just do once.

smychka (255 days of longing)

A braying donkey smashes another cherry wood curio housing all her trinkets and miniatures, some the wood work of her uncle, making the most of his tiny hands carves a skeleton Mariachi band for el dia de las muertos from broken limbs of the willow outside her window, a few from her lover stolen cry...

Still life # 4: lovers on the couch

Asleep. She can’t breathe but to strangle him ceaselessly in the desert this cinnamon skinned Francesca and Paolo caught on the couch lay petrified, carved from a night of spent longing… a mile of desert playa between the circus lights of the esplanade, these lovers find themselves out of water, out...

Hello lovelies, Not to worry, burning man is strong enough to endure a little criticism. From what I could tell, she looked like she was having a good time but honestly, the playa ain't everyone's gig. I didn't see the Leno interview but I'm not suprised that was her reaction. She was there under th...

djmOther,

Were you playing on wednesday night on the playa, oh about 9:00 to 10:00? Did you play the "Let the Sunshine in" remake?

Yo SED, I'll be the only newly shaved headed Mexican there. I'll actually be camping at a satellite camp but I'll be spending most of my time at Prometheatrics, especially setting up the stage, dj equipment, shade structures, blah, blah, blah... just look for the stocky brown kid. Or catch me at the...

Hmmm? Tend to live in extended families and in tact neighborhoods. I wonder what he would say, Bel Aire is? I wonder what he would say, the Hamptons are? Those are in tact neighborhoods and I wonder, if they live in extended families, I'm assuming they have enough rooms. I would have loved to hear h...

SED, Yeah, you're right. I like to argue, I don't see it as negative because while I do take it personally, I take it as a personal challenge than insult, so I have fun. Party, my friend? Absolutely. Prometheatrics camp at 9:30 and esplanade. That's right. The esplanade. Our first time. As were two ...

Eh, I was gonna let this go but you misrepresent the truth a few times here. 1. You misquote yourself. You did not say (in your 1st post), "is not highly valued". You, in fact, said: not culturally valued (go back and look as I did). I would say these two terms are not synomous. You could have meant...

given enough time under the sun no one is white out on the playa. too many lovelies to adore, too many pieces to stand in front of and lose your shit, ala the fallen chandelier, the white whale, the pirate ship... too many poets to hear like Ian, the techno pagan octopuss messiah... too many dj's to...
