Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

sometimes the only way to react to this life is to find hope in stupid things.

i find you shooting paradoxes with an air rifle

in the adrenal cortex of georges bataille.

you are wearing a dress of glittering electrons

and a phalaenopsis smile.

a hot, graphite beam of infinite cumuli

puffs whimsical from my fevered brain

and as your swollen belly distends further,

shooting psychedelic rainbow seahorses

into the ether of our love, i smile.

 

 we have never been so beautiful ugly.

the title drew me right in.

A "graphite beam" bearing observer and a muse..it seems a well conveyed tribute to enamoration with the peculiarities that coexist with the ordinary.

It is almost as if it were our perceptions of who (or what) we love must be treasured and guarded as much as the object of love itself.

I like it.
