Hat (sort of) The Day

Locks

by Neil Gaiman

We owe it to each other to tell stories,

as people simply, not as father and daughter.

I tell it to you for the hundredth time:

"There was a little girl, called Goldilocks,

for her hair was long and golden,

and she was walking in the Wood and she saw -- "

"-- cows." You say it with certainty,

remembering the strayed heifers we saw in the woods

behind the house, last month.

"Well, yes, perhaps she saw cows,

but also she saw a house."

"-- a great big house," you tell me.

"No, a little house, all painted, neat and tidy."

"A great big house."

You have the conviction of all two-year-olds.

I wish I had such certitude.

More here, my darlings

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

All My Love

How shall we beguile the lazy time,
if not with some delight?

Again let us dream
where the land lies sunny
And live, like the bees,
on our hearts' old honey,
Away from the world that slaves for money
Come, journey the way with me.

kick out the gloom
kick out the blues
tear out the pages with all the bad news
pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
oh just burn down the house!
burn down the street!
turn everything red and the beat is complete
with the sound of your world
going up in the fire
it's a perfect day to throw back your head
and kiss it all goodbye!

proper steps

i only do this until i get dizzy and then i lay down on my back
and watch the clouds, she said.
it sounds simple but you won't believe
how many people forget the second part.

It was a summer's night
& the smell of the old rose bush
was as heavy as rain
& she asked me in
& I followed her up those stairs till morning.

What I dream I had,
dressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain

a M�linite: Moulin-Rouge

Olivier Metra's Waltz of Roses
Sheds in a rhythmic shower
The very petals of the flower;
And all is roses,
The rouge of petals in a shower.

Down the long hall the dance returning
Rounds the full circle, rounds
The perfect rose of lights and sounds,
The rose returning
Into the circle of its rounds.

Alone, apart, one dancer watches
Her mirrored, morbid grace;
Before the mirror, face to face,
Alone she watched
her morbid, vague, ambiguous grace.

Before the mirror's dance of shadows
She dances in a dream,
And she and they together seem
A dance of shadows,
Alike the shadows of a dream.

Arthur Symons, 1895

But wait, Gorgeous, there is more

The cure for anything is salt water,
sweat, tears, or the sea.

~ Isak Dinesen ~

There are some people who live in a dream world,
and there are some who face reality;
and then there are those who turn one into the other.
