I'll pay you off in twenties.

My heart is a vacuum
and in it a prickly pear.
It is nothing that I swallowed,
it was you who put it there.
In absence of sunlight
it grows and bares flesh
while spines follow limbs
to a fine found filament
of sugar frosted fingers
for my grip almost spent.
It purges heat and a punch
then I swallow it back,
that prickly pear
perhaps, I did put it there.


p.s. it really wasn't as grand as I thought it would be.

I think that you are,
I say with honesty a complete claim
I agree, sir, she said.
I say this as one who knows nothing

I say it not as a thief of words;
they are yours to write, or speak;
I say it not to be obtuse
but to be oblique.

Are you seeing with clarity?
Or are we skirting or,
is this not to do with our
collective familiarty?

I don't dare presume,
though you've made it our place
and given us words

but I wonder:

I have very little right
to fully address the matter.

Mayo,

Okay, so you're sharp. I hope it's a good kind of sharp. Me? I'm not feeling very sharp tonight. I like sharp things though. I like them a fucking lot. But that's probably so not what you're talking about and the more I go on and on about it makes me seem a little more weird and unstable than what I am. Yeah, whatever that means.

Myself? I like to slice right through. Again and again and again...until there is nothing left. Then, I can't remember what it was I was looking for in the first place. Oh yes, the truth, the illusion of truth. I spent all that time searching and cutting through looking for something that doesn't exist.

But in my search, I end up feeling more alive than I have ever felt. So, I keep looking.

Get me? No? It's okay. I don't even get myself. Keep slicing through the layers and you'll see.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. This way and that.

Anonymous said...

Well Mayo, you know when I bold your name it means I am saying good night.

Mayo, I'm sure you know that I at least fool myself that I've got a halfway decent grasp on a few things here. I dunno who you are but I get what you're saying once in a while. Sometimes the revelation is subtle, sometimes it's grand; I can be, like I said, very obtuse. But I like your games and I sincerely hope you don't mind if I try to play the riddle game once in a while. Usually it's totally failtacular, I know. And you probably just shake your head and roll your eyes sometimes. There were a few subjects I failed in school; I mean I only really did well in English, foreign languages, chorus and science, you know? The other ones, not so much. So like, don't expect miracles. ;) We have been places, apparently. (Which reminds me: I seriously have to go and visit Japan before I up and change my entire life. You know?)

Have delightful dreams Mayo, like perhaps of nights so clear that you can see every effing goddamn star in the milky way. Or actually, that's nicer in real life than in dreams, so instead, look at the sky. Right?

S(S)S, thank you for sharing The Beatles again! You are pretty much made of win. I mean like if "win" was a fabric, you'd be totally cut from it. And you wouldn't be made in a sweat shop either. You would be fair trade and then you'd be hand made by locals.

Wow, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Long days and pleasant nights to you. ^_^

BlogBelieve, good night! I think.

You know how yours kind of got sick? Yeah, kind of like that. Maybe they just need a day off.

As always, I hope you're okay. Thanks for coming by in your illusive form. It's just kind of nice to know you're still around.

Goodnight, Mayo.


SS,
Across The Universe. I loved it, so you might, too?!

Anyway, sorry for all of this mess. Sorry for the other day. Just a big huge sorry.

And the music, dude. The music! I have to give them credit, they have some pretty decent songs, and that one has a point and a message, so I'm down for it.

You don't see that a lot anymore, so if popular artists can still have music that means something and that aren't just verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, outro, it sticks out, and that song does. Maybe it will stick with us.

Goodnight to you. :)

I got the internet back!!! Comcast had to change the wires on the pole. Hmmmmm - sounds somewhat naughty :)

detroit anon - Your answer is in my latest post :) I am glad you had such fun!

MAYO I found twenty dollars on the floor at my mcr concert. Was that you paying me off? :D *laughing* Did anyone else find twenties? Also, for those with a great capacity for imagination, nothing is as grand as we think it will be, but we can always hope!

I will post an edited version of my concert review next. But I have some reading to do - obv. I'll never catch up!!!!

miranth said...

cupcake- a free badge!!!! That's great :) Do you try music to help relax you? I used to listen to the cocteau twins before bed each night. Also a bath can help. About the attacks, I agree with L about the breathing. If I wake up too early, I try imaginging myself flying and that helps put me right back out. I do have trouble falling asleep, so I've tried lots of things. Good luck!

OP-L - I've been fine taking care of kids - bike riding and playing games out of doors now. My niece is sick, though, and we're doing one more course of the same treatment. If it doesn't work she'll be hospitalized the doctor says, which is scary. So we try our best. It is very worrying, though. How are you doing? How are OP-J and Shaunette and your bunnies? :)

ergoproxy said...

apparently you are in deep sleep too long so your body floods in adrenaline to wake you up but it creates the feeling of fear, but no dream to go with it, they suck but they ease as you get older, my brother had them too, lots of little kids get them and often you don't wake up just cry out.

or if you look awake you aren't.

My mum gets panics badly, she's left stores and things, but again eased as she aged

Hi ergo! How are you? Those night terrors and panics sound scary. I am glad they eased as your family members aged.

Vivienne said...

I do try music on occasion, Miranth, sometimes a film I like, or I'll try reading.
For me, it all depends on how bad i've let it get.
If I can't stop it quickly it tends to get worse.
The other morning I woke up and panicked for four and a half hours, just waves of nausea and adrenaline till I was so tired I just fell asleep again.

Gosh, listen to me whine! I'm not trying to, it's more that I'm trying to explain how it is for me.
