I take direct instruction from our noble leader. And when he tells me for the umpteempth time 'I will not be treated as property', I know it's time to get that thread locked. Shame though, because the girls there are really nice
ooooh so that's how you get all your "material" eh?
haha
if that thread gets locked, i'm asking for a refund
The sky melts, the chill softens
And yet somehow, more snow
A call to humility
To the heart of man.

But the time of your conquest
Is drawing to an end
The earth still has something to say

There's a hole missing from my leg
From where they fucked me over
Scared and putting up resistance,
They
Dropped me with cs gas, batons and a boulder
Yes there's a hole missing from my leg
I wish that wasn't true
Never to be given back, and no apology
But I swear by every wound aching in this body
That I'll not rest until
Their whole sorry scheme
is over.

The wind arrived with her wings
Whistling through the secret places
Making her recede
Hugging the shadows
Her body melted
Her self, a whisper
Of something more solid
Long time ago
Her self becoming whispered
Feeling less real by the hour
And yet more alive
She dissolved into the sideboards
and blended into dark
The memory of being solid
Memory, flickering
Like the moth shielding the flame
Just one inch closer
and her body hisses,
and released

You were like my sister
Yet we grew up living separate lives
Close as plants
How now I know you were always somewhere else
Today I listen to the music
From that time
I see the daylight
of 1987
Streaming through the window at the back of my mind
Sounds sweet, not sugary
So deceptive
A childhood hope
That same tremble in the voice
That cuts across the barriers
Made us both worship the cassette player
And I remember you trying to tell me something
Me, living a boyish life, easy
So close to you
You counting down each day
The days until you were big enough to stop it
The truth is I'll never know what you were thinking
Only sometimes I think I hear it amongst the music
One day I'll write it all down
One day I'll write a letter to the paper

Subtle body threading its way through space, through time. My words are more real than my footsteps as I trace my way through material life, shops send messages leading me to books, bring softness, illumination. Coins rattle then shimmer and spin as they leave my hand transforming to some heady tea, solace and solitude. Warm glow down below, the universe hums like a guitar string as I watch the passers by. The inner eye clearer now than outer. slight chill ripples across my shoulders as I tap these words into an ocean space of friends- throwing a coin via satellite into a well of understanding. Well dressed today the town is my friend as I mingle unobserved but observing life. Slice apart my innocuity and what will you find? Layers like an onion. Make your eyes smart. Don't come too close. I fly beyond this material place connected to a web and ready to pluck a note to resound, and still resound by the time I make it home. I pray my glow lasts me tonight. Tonight I will stay in alone. Tidy my house, file my records, drink tea and cook. And maybe I'll consult the satellite for the slices, facets of distant friends, tips of icebergs united with some depth, tough material and depth, helping me slice through the daylight with a clear eye for once. Not mad sitting here. Just tapping on my phone. For once in my life I'm less crazy than they are. Money in my pocket, a sparkle in my eye, in my voice, the women seem to like it. And the friends behind the tea counters I've made this year. A creature of habit. When people are nice, they like it when you come back. Ready now to talk to anyone with a gleam in their eye, and the pulsing conviction that it ain't no sin to be glad to be alive...ready to press send before the chill sets in.

Back home still with a warm glow, have tidied and am cooking part one of tonight's food - pizza! Later comes part 2, the posh stuff - some sort of fancy veggie pasta melt. Just shove it in the oven! Have a few beers in the fridge, am drinking my oolong tea and listening to today's record purchase, the Beatles red album. Feel very happy. Tonight could be the best new year's eve on record! No worrying about what to wear, no worrying about whether the girl dancing on the other side of the room is ignoring me. No worrying about where I might wake up and in what state! I'm looking forward to my 40s when they arrive, I can imagine more nights like this one!! hehehe.
Jo, the line you picked out was the only one not of mine haha - His Bruceness of Springsteen. From this song, Badlands
Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got......
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
Badlands
For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands

You say she healed you
And who am I to say she didn't
I hope that it's true
Such intimacy disturbs me though
On that level, on this level
One minute your body is your own
Now it's sold to a revelation
Isn't this how cults start?
I know my disquiet is a man thing
Fear of witches and the like
But mainly I doubt,
doubt not because of my weak sexual jealousy
But because I just don't believe it's gonna work
I don't believe it works

Eyes flashing like swords clashing
with mine, you always were
The green hornet
In your beauty lay danger
In your beauty lies danger
And lies lies lies
All you used to feed me
So many lies, you made me sick
Such a thin gruel, thin veil disguising
Yourself
Stretched so thin, your protection
It is common
I've seen it many times since
Disguise yourself from the next one
Until you get your revenge
Every time you get your revenge
Rip out his heart, slice him to ribbons
And move on
Only some days

Nothing more clear
Flee and surrender?
Retreat and retract
A fool's game if ever
there was one to crack

Courage from hope

Sanctuary in the arms of Love.
Hurt leaves and worries cease.
Love's breath warms the top of my head,
Love's touch smooths my hair.

Would heaven help me be clean?

You never heard a word I said
It's seems simple to me
That if you knew you wouldn't say

And the impression I get
As the story unfurls
That you're the hardest thing in the world
