"All the same, the light gave my lovely images, negatives, of our encouters. I likened you to beings whose variety was the only justification for the name, always the same, yours, that I wanted to call them by, beings that I transformed as I transformed you, in full light, as you transform the water of a spring by taking it in a glass, as you transform your hand putting it into that of another. The snow itself, which was behind us the painful screen on which the crystals of pledges were melting, even the snow was masked. In the caves of the earth, crystallized plants were seeking the cutaways of the exits. Abyssal shadows, stretched towards a dazzling confusion, I did not perceive that your name was becoming illusory, that it was nowhere except on my mouth and that, little by little, the face of temptations appeared real, entire, alone.
It was then that I turned back to you." -paul eluard (thankyou katie).

everybodyalways.
tangling limbs in sheets coloured with sweat.
saying. everything. lips parted to break. and we broke. you. broke.
me.
it's light when it's dark,
when outlines trace lines
on you. around you.
tracing lines on backs when backs were all one found.
a woman gives her body to many men so that it may not be owned by any one man,
holding onto skin when we're falling down
hey let's shove our feet in our mouths and walk on our heads.
is she the baby yeah i can see it in her eyes,
don't worry honey moms going to be alrite.
i miss you like i know you,
even cowboys get the sores.

he told me that i hurt him. i told him he hurt me too. i wonder if he was thinking about me (as i was of him) while iggy sang dirt last nite ...'i've been hurt, and i don't care...' we talked for over an hour, standing there in the middle of the space. he said he just wants things to be good between us. he cares about me. i care about him too. nothing is ever easy.
