Opportunity may knock only once,
But temptation leans on the doorbell.

A work of art can lift you up from the mishmash of life, the weight of the unintelligible world,and the vulgarity that squats on you like an enormous toad and won't get off.

I STARVE MY BELLY FOR A SUBLIME PURPOSE

Three days
I starve my belly
so that it learns
to eat the sun.

I say to it: Belly
I am ashamed of you. You must
spiritualize yourself. You must
eat the sun.

The belly keeps silent
for three days. It's not easy
to waken in it higher asperations.

Yet I hope for the best.
This morning, tanning myself on the beach,
I noticed that, little by little,
it begins to glow,

Any day I don't have to deal with werewolves is a good day. So most of my days are good days ;-)

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Weakness

Old mare whose eyes
are like cracked marbles,
drools blood in her mash,
shivers in her jute blanket.

My father hates weakness worse than hail;
in the morning
without haste
he will shoot her in the ear, once,
shovel her under in the north pasture.

Tonight
leaving the stables
he stands his lantern on an overturned water pail,
turns,
cursing her for a bad bargain,
and spreads his coat
carefully over her sick shoulders.

For some reason StumbleUpon wouldn't accept this link: Robot Music Videos

It deserves a thumbs up because they put The Dresden Dolls on top of the "best" list. Always happy to see our superlative local talent get recognized.
