flush
it hits like a flush. it’s warm like it. you can feel it spread in the body and it skates up the spine (or is it down from?) like electricity. i decided middle of last week to cut access to this place as the last step in setting aside the married friend who was trying to keep me like a doll in a box. today, while doing maintenance on the blog, i see him arrive and try to log in. the very nerve. not a peep since the 15th, and then only to drop me like a fucking hot potato, […]
book recommendation: the joy of living

unspoken
word is the thought unwieldy form no matter the letters chosen something missing fidelity painful pun unspoken (this item is a departure from the norm; a paragraph of words that cannot be given and cannot be spoken, so, rendered into lines and curves, silently screamed, color and shape no less unable to communicate, but knowing what is there and what is meant can be its own comfort sometimes.)
