You couldn't shut me up if you tried.

As any good poem will do, I was moved to another place. Taken back to a day long ago when I was twelve, no maybe eleven, and had spent a good portion of the afternoon alone foraging around in the yard. Aside from some awkward social issues, I was content (even the social issues contented me because it gave me the excuse to be alone). So that particular day, standing in my yard, breathing in the warm fresh air of spring, I recall being rained upon by helicopters. I collected them all in a box, or perhaps it was a bucket, and climbed my favorite tree as high as I could and re-released them to the ground. It was my intention to allow them a second flight, to once again be aloft.

It is amazing how similar we are, humans. Inhale (I’m), exhale (here). At the very core we exist, our attempts to make our lives enjoyable or in some instances passable should be worthy. Take it in, the amazing, the simple, the meaningful and give it away, just the same.

As I have said (and as some have speculated) I am privileged to have a few places to spout off (last count...Three, “oh lucky me.”). Of course, some of my words were never intended to be read by anyone other than the one I wrote them for and in some cases no one at all. These places have never intersected, until now. I have been reminded to rip myself open. So, I have gathered up these words for a second flight.


Her fingers weave through my hair
And her breath is a reminder (that I breathe)
In and out, slow and almost silent

I'm

h e r e


I'm

h e r e


I'm

h e r e



Her evening promise
brings me rest.
When I wake, whenever that may be
I can tell her anything
and she believes
And I understand
the weight of trust.
She begs me for more,
more anything, more everything
and I oblige, within reason
I can give endlessly
and she will return the favor.
She is at once present
and future entwined
For years in the making
and each moment a step
closer to letting go.



p.s. but once I am dead, Dis.



The written word, in any form, is a powerful gift. But, it can also destroy.

Anonymous said...

This is get-able.

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know

Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on


They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much


If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues

Amyranth said...

BC, just the day from hell.

A customer called. Asked if we trim birds wings and I told him that we don't. We have people that are trained to do so with the birds in the store, but we don't provide it as a service because we do not have any kind of medical experience in case anything goes wrong. Like clipping a bloodfeather. He said fine, he had to drop by anyway to pick up some stuff for an exchange. I told him we'd see him later.

So he shows up about 2 hours later, and walks right over to me with a cardboard carrier. He says, "We went to Place X and they said they couldn't clip his wings. What can we do about this?"

And he opened a box to show me a cockatiel with a badly bleeding wing.

The poor little bugger had a clot, sitting on the floor of the carrier, and a splash of blood about as big as his thumbnail.

The customer, we think, may have tried to clip the feathers, and we found two bloodfeathers cut right off. Still in the skin, where they are attached to a vein, and they keep pumping blood.

We had to convince him to pay the $129 fee to get him fixed at an emergency clinic, because I think he thought it was too much money to spend on the bird. His mother, also didn't think it was a big problem, until I explained to both of then that he could bleed out fairly quickly if it wasn't rectified by a vet right away.

All we could do was use some Quik Stop to staunch the bleeding, and get the guy to put pressure on the bird's wing in the hopes that it would be okay.

I am very, very afraid that he won't be.

So, yeah. I could have ran screaming from work today.

Ergo, it's not a hard thing to learn how to do, but I bet you know how easy it is for someone inexperienced to accidentaly nick a bloodfeather.

Or, you can just clip the first five at the top of the wing, an inch in, depending on the breed.

We never clip anything smaller than a canary. It's too much for smaller birds.

elena said...

Amy that's just so sad. I had a cockatiel named Mr. T. (he loved gold jewelry). Such a sweet bird. I really miss him. I just can't understand how anyone could see that an animal is in need of medical treatment and not get it taken care of.

Goodnight mustard, sweet dreams

Rasputins Revenge said...

I hate doing things like that to any animal..I would let them fly around I really didnt care...I'd put them back in when I was leaving or someone came over..I have never had one get away.

I have a couple of cats here and they come and go like they want. When they want in they come in..when they want out...they go out.

ergoproxy said...

I had a cockatiel once he used to wolf whistle me all the time!
you can see the blood feathers but you have to know what they are, he must've just hacked the wing. We cut all the outer flight feathers on one wing, there's more than 5 on a hen

Amyranth said...

Elena, especially when it's BAD like that. I mean, god, I could barely look at the poor little bastard without sucking air.

I'll be honest, I panicked a lot. I hate seeing blood to begin with, but at least a human is generally capable of fixing themselves with band-aids or whatnot.

Animals, not so much.

-A

Amyranth said...

Triston, I know some people do it because it makes it easier to handtrain the bird. Customers have told me that they can usually let the feathers grow back in, and have no problem with the bird after that.

It's a personal choice, and I really don't disagree either way, but when someone who works with pets for a living says "Hey, listen. Take him to a vet." why can't you frigging do it?

Normally I'll run any of my animals to the Vet if they even look a little sluggish....especially dogs...They can't tell you what hurts.

We once had a Blue Crown Amazon Parrot. Talk about biting hard. That bird would take your finger off if given the chance. He hated me but loved my husband. We had to give him away once we had kids because he was so dangerous. You just can't tell a toddler to stay away from a birdcage and expect them to understand especially since the bird would say, "Come here".

Splash, I wish I could undo the damage that whoever said those words to you did. I know we don't know each other in real life, but I think by now I know enough to know that those things are not true of you. I think you're an incredible girl. I am privileged to know you. I'm not sure how much that counts for in meat-space, but I do mean it.

Well, I just watched Fearless again. Gahhhhh what a beautiful movie and Jet Li is so gorgeous with the way he moves, just when he is doing forms. And everytime I watch it I fall in ridiculous love with Tanaka. So honorable, so gracious, so heroic and so goddamn freaking hot.

S(S)S and everyone who is pulling for the baby grackle: He is holding up for now (*knocking on wood!*) but he's got some respiratory problem that I'm not too sure is respiratory. He can't swallow and he coughs an awful lot. I thought it was either pneumonia or gapeworm, but I've been treating him for both of those things and it's not making a difference. He keeps putting on weight too which means it's probably not either thing. His head, like I mentioned, is all pecked. I almost kinda suspect he has something wrong with his beak and that's why he gasps so much, and then he inhales the food down his trachea.... Well, it's complicated and there's no need to get into the whole thing.

But THANK YOU SO MUCH just for caring. Most people could take or leave grackles and starlings, and wild birds in fact (but especially grackles and starlings as they are considered pests and it's legal to just kill them anyway.) Wild birds are my little treasures, my makamai of the summer and not many people get that. They are so lovely. So, thank you for caring.

babble babble as always! ^_^

ergoproxy said...

anon! are you the one I was asking about that before?
if so who is looking like they'll win?

ergoproxy said...

yes it is Seth green and a friend, it's really funny. He was over here recently and they interviewed him, a very strange guy!

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah, you did ask!!! Duh. I'm still pulling for Amanda I think? The dark haired one. Anyone but fake Brooke and Lisa.

Anonymous said...

is it better to look a right tit, or a left tit?

Amyranth said...

My favorite episode of Robot Chicken had the game of Life sketch in it.

ergoproxy said...

oh good, I think Amanda looked most normal.
I saw a bit of that Tia Tequila show- oh where do they drag these people from! and how do they possibly function in real life?

I love seeing The Soup for my dose of "Why american TV sux"

elena said...

To me Seth Green will always be OZ from Buffy..

The guy is so funny!

Anonymous said...

I do love Seth. And oh, I can at least say I don't watch any of that stuff on MTV or VH1 or whatever, so maybe I just need 10 or 11 steps. My reality shows are all on Network tv or Bravo.

ergoproxy said...

suppose it depends if you are left or right tithanded

Anonymous said...

I used to watch that Soup show back when it was called something else (The Daily Soup, maybe?) and Greg Kinnear was the host!

Amyranth said...

Well, I suppose a right tit.

Looking a left tit sounds neglectful.

Speaking of right tits.

ugh that Tia is strange but they showed a girl who was booted bawling saying ""but i have so much love to give, noone could love her like I do, why can't she see"

only reality ones I like are Project Runway and Next Top Model

and a UK food one called Masterchef

Talk to you tomorrow?

ergoproxy said...

anon thing2 and ah ha just shows how handy the blog is! you may never have known the real reason and gone off in a huff.

Amyranth said...

Ergo, if MacGyver existed, I bet you he'd have used this blog to thwart the Germans during an exploit in Eastern Eurasia.

Oh, this blog, a piece of gum and an old toilet paper roll.

I loved Mythbusters doing those movie myths.

and things like a hero can be sprayed by machine gunners who miss, but his pistol gets a baddie every time, and in westerns every bullet ricochets, even if it hits something, (bullet ricochets are a cool sound though)

ergoproxy said...

anon I was seriously considering that phrase as a tattoo

Anonymous said...

My fave was the explanation of the pirate eyepatch, it totally made sense!

For Amy's bath:


Rubber Ducky

Rubber Ducky, you're the one.
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.
Rubber Ducky, joys of joys
When I squeak you, you make noise
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!

Everyday when I make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who' cute, yellow, and chubby.
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby)

Rubber Ducky you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

care and give and tend
or clench to fists and fight
throttle, suffocate, relieve

and pet and point and mend
then through them falls the light
which I try to hold and weave

while open to my friends
though agile in delight
still hidden in my sleeves

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
So I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since I've tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine, I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address
And look at the stars
Don't they remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since I've tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine, I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne
And you wouldn't know me
If your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
This won't last longer than the rest of the day?
But you're wrong this time
You're wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the one mee
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out

Deep will only bring you down
You know I used to be the backporch poet
With a book of rhymes always
Open, knowing all the time, I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'

And Robot Chicken is the best. I can't pick a favorite.

And you can catch STD's just watching Tila Tequila.
