[hometext] => Written November 24, 2005.
[bodytext] => Stained skin, solid and cold. Blue lips, blue tips – once crystal blue eyes, gouged and gorged; raven-picked, button sewn and corset laced. Criss-crossing, bare branches numbed and berried. Buckled, snaps. Temples evacuated; slow drain. Trickle-tip-slip. Trickle-trip-slip. Flocks – to salvation, no less than doves or sheep. Vanished in wishes, buried in ditches; ashen and immobile. In-verted; in-vented. Sweet sleep, how doth thee ascend? Golden, softly flowing, like sunrises and swallowed liquor, and just as saccharine. Pretending to sleep; unwilling to dream.
