romance and chivalry for the new age

having a naked picture ( )

that you're sexually active ( )

to a degree that gives you status ( )

it's an electronic hickey

-halldor kiljan laxness + 1998

i caught this on a bumper

parting epiphany

the bishop had the audacity
to quote tagore
at the end of the funeral
yesterday
(sheila sullivan - butte-irish montana superwoman-{may she rest in his eternal peace})-

an extinguishing of the flame
rather
it is a turning out the light
for the dawn has arrived

-Rabinandrath Tagore +1949

the first day of the year
loads of weight to carry
already levity is a joke
only a choice to be
lovingly overwhelmed
to be graceful
learning to bow again
learning to bow deeper
madness is
a demanding queen indeed
