fierce ice ire
untapped love
there is no love
and never was

no threads to grab
no fabric bound
only you
mud paw hound

two sheets hung
up side by side
hems beat down
each other's breeze

impinge upon
the inbetween
your fingers pro'd
the ugly thing

call me loose
i float away...



i float away
now light down on
this icy pond
and cold i lay

so cold i lay
and lie in wait
sweet fishes come
and test the bait
i lay so coldly out
hold, ho, man, you
hold
and be true

hold and be true

take me now
and half will lie
with catfishes
and forever
It's all yellow.

    wow.

    you know the first fish I ever caught in the wild was a catfish...

    a forever remembrance, I suppose.

    a drowning of love, a cleansing of love, a dispersal of love, a lead on the manner with which we love, and then wither.

    yellow, words woven as a bracelet, anklet and handcuff. Tight, tighter, unable to let go.

    let us not rust though we oxidize. let us present ourselves with CLR.

    wow.

    let us not rust as we oxidize
    perhaps a patina would be better?

    just bronze me. Forget the shine that will fade and wear away, do it for the life of the mantle that I'll be put upon to be revered and yet forgotten all at the same time.

    God, it's cold in here.

    Did I mention my heater's out? As in out, dating other heaters. He hasn't come back yet. Stupid, selfish, stuck up PRIG.

    That was my first response, too, B.Gita.
    Oh, I'll change the subject.....

    Thanks for your poem, Yellow. Sometimes getting these words out from bitter experience is like tearing through rock for a diamond....you've got to work so carefully that it's all the more agonising. But it was worth it. Sorry if that analogy was a bit corny. You know what I mean. Thank you.

    Now would that catfish coffee be with chicory, the boy wonders,
    and phishgod smiled, said, rise fishes, mumbled sacred words and phrases, and the lakers rise perfectly sleek like practically jumping in the boat to watch us catch 'em as koi,
    and hence phishgod was born,
    not made.

    good read
    rockon,

    Some peeplez well dey sayz i is astral.

    Actually, I had one of dem odd, uncanny experiences at the Neil Young/ PJ Finsbury Park gig in 93 (the gig with the carrots). I was at the front of the stage, near enough...and de lil' Vedderman he was singin' "Once". He catch me eye, at de end, he shout "Onccccccccccce!" an I look back wid de crazy eyeballs an I says "Onccccccccccce!" back. So we both be lookin at each other goin' crazy an' sayin' "Onccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccce!"
    An' I hear it on a boot I got now, an' I say to myself, we two crazy fukkas meetin' in de brain at dat moment in history. We did de fleeting bond thingy. But den later on he throw dese carrots out to the crowd an one hit me on de fukkin nose.
    It was all orange.
