Dust.We sat watching the late afternoon
sun turn the dust into flecks of gold that drifted above our heads like the ghosts of thoughts or the debris of our private wars. I asked why you thought dust
always stayed in the
air instead of falling to the ground; you said it's because lighter objects always gravitate
toward heavier objects and since
almost everything is heavier than dust, it can't decide which way to go and floats around being pulled through the
air in every direction. Don't be the dust, you said. Know where you want to go. Dust.

A Record Year For RainfallI saw you as you leaned from the back window of the bus, reaching up to the ceiling of clouds and pulling open the zipper in its belly. Pulling it farther and farther as the bus bumped and hummed over the road, making it rain rain rain.
I always did wonder why your voice sounded like umbrellas turning inside out.
There was a song I always listened to in the sinking midst of my various anxieties. The chords would roll in like smudgy rainclouds or quiet tears, and they would blur and puddle over the black ink of the stigmas I wrote into myself. Much like you did. It was amazing how one simple song could wash away so mu A Record Year For Rainfall

leitmotif(I will never forgive Millais for painting Ophelia calm in the water. My cousin Noah died shoeless and struggling under a lonely man’s hands, his eyes full of rain runoff. Real people don’t sink as pretty as oil on canvas: Noah was four feet five on the autopsy slab, no flowers, no frames. I am ruled by the aesthetic, but I would embrace his every imperfection if it meant having him back. This clumsy dilettante still loves Noah with the scabs on his shins, sitting sloppy at Sam’s recitals in sneakers and shorts. Give me the asymmetry of his eyelashes. For the fir leitmotif

Amazing Photography

Sun Sep 20, 2009, 4:24 PM

1) Robert Frank.
_{I am awed by his photographs of 20th century America. The ambiances he manages to capture are incredible, and they make you oddly but deeply nostalgic for a time you (most likely) were never even alive to have seen. Like a photographic version of Edward Hopper. [link] This site has a great bio and a really really good selection of his pictures.}

2) Jen Gotch.
_{Quiet, soft, and sosososo pretty. Her first piece in the Defaced series blew my mind. [link] Really. You have to see this. You just have to. Polaroid FTFW. [link] Her main page.}

3) The Photographic Dictionary.
_{Dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph. Beautiful marriage of my two most favorite things - words and photography. And it's just great to see how other people interpret words through a camera lens. [link]}

I think I replied the same thing to two comments, but I don't know what the second one is if I have. It was an accident though because my messaging screwed up, then deleted two comments after I replied twice to one.o.o

Nah, I don't think so. It's all cool either way.
