part 276 show me potato salads

Jun 21, 2011 17:56

Hi meme! How was your weekend? I got to keep a constant vigil on my cat on Sunday while the family was over, so she didn't dig into the hamburgers and hot dogs and sweet, sweet potato salad. Oh that scamp. Always causing a fuss!

View flat!

Enjoy part 276!

"Everything's gone into hiding. Buried itself in the ground,
So winter will feel it's victorious, in charge.
The tulip sleeps in the bulb. And the earth will not reveal
What the white roots are up to, lying in black ambush.

My toads too are asleep between two summers,
Their breath gone quiet under the sheltering soil.
In vain Jack Frost-that sullen sleepwalker-goes in pursuit
Of secret thoughts of spring.

Between two darknesses, like the gold of toad
Eyes, my heart sleeps: Nothing can touch it,
Patiently it saves up their opening to the light.
While winter thinks it's victorious, in charge."

Oh, but. This... isn't quite the right season, of course. Sorry. It's just - preparing for Jāņi and all, I, uhm, have possibly been sneaking a tiny bit too much beer in anticipation, it's...

Y... yeah. So.

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:08:54 UTC

A-ah... hahaha-- it really isn't very lively around here, is it. This is somewhat awkward, reciting a poem to no one.

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:09:17 UTC

Talking to no one...

You're too quiet, kid.

[...because he only heard that last bit]

[and only because he almost tripped over you]

--I-I'm not a kid!! I'm just-- very sensitive to volume or lack of it and I wasn't really about to cry, it was just

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:20:36 UTC

[looks]

[up]

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:22:02 UTC

Uh. Hello! Thank you very much for helping me before that's definitely what I meant to say.

dam_stijl June 23 2011, 03:25:05 UTC

[blinks down]

[frowns]

Yeah. [anyway] So what's with the not-really-tears, then.

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:29:25 UTC

I

was... moved to tears. By these poems here.

They're very touching!

dam_stijl June 23 2011, 03:31:49 UTC

...what poems.

[he heard no poems]

latvianxious June 23 2011, 03:41:23 UTC

--Do you want to read some?!

[holds up a couple of books]

[...what, is it weird to get so excited carry poetry books with him everywhere?]

Or I can read some of my favorites to you, if you would prefer!

Roses are red.

2/3 ricepaddle June 23 2011, 03:47:45 UTC

Violets are blue.

3/4 ACTUALLY... ricepaddle June 23 2011, 03:48:49 UTC

Kid, you sound like you got a case of the Asiatic Flu.

4/4 ricepaddle June 23 2011, 03:49:50 UTC

YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO BE A POET IF YOU FOLLOW IT UP WITH MUMBO JUMBO.

SAY IT AGAIN.
PROPER.
NOW!!
