Trees outside the window and a big band sound that makes you feel like

I knooow, all of the above are fantastic! I like seeing a happy poem from him after all the others.

Crush has got to be my favourite book.
He's so intense.

That's an excellent word for him.

i like! random question: how do you get it spaced out properly? i want to post this in my personal journal.

I changed the formatting in my posting window from HTML to Rich text, so it would preserve the spacing (I typed it up myself). It's the tab on the upper right. The other way to do it is stay in HTML and enclose the whole thing in the
and tags. :)

Usually by the end of Siken's poems I'm gasping for breath or saying "Oh God. Oh God" over and over again.

This made me smile quietly. :) Just, lovely.
