turkana boy

perhaps he went missing one day to be swallowed by the dust, trod into the earth by the thousands of years.
we found him too late, i think: the scorched ground finally spat him back at a few shovels’ prodding.
he was only twelve when he died, a man and not a man:                        he gripped acheulian playthings with his thick hands,

the usual waywhen the phone rings i will hesitate and shudder stumble tremble curse your name
still like a good girl i will defer my rage to my weak knees and say hello the usual way

FleetfootSome days my feet itch for the hunt, my eyes dart wildly in search of your shadow, my fingers twitch on the bowstrings.
Other days I wonder why you must race before and I behind-- the silence paralyzes me as you graze, indifferent.
At nights, I used to conjure up the thought of your pursuit and smile as I fled but anymore I merely wonder if I'd rather be hunted or just killed and dead. Fleetfoot

DoryphorosThey've bred some sickness into you, I think, that you can't see the beauty
in his stone flexion, feel the muscles spring ready under smooth marble
gleaming white like the bronzed flesh must have gleamed with oil. How Polykleitos
lovingly crafted those strong arms, skillfully placed each perfect leg to
nature's preference. His face is lifeless yet but each limb sings tension
and then sweet release. Humanity has perched like a halo on his
head. You cry obscene-- you've made some mistake, I Doryphoros

Aulisi watched you gun her down       in the springtime of her life
you hugged the trigger to yourself       and let death fly wingless through the morning air each bullet kissed a quivering bud
she tumbled in a halo of light and fair hair,       hit the verdant green, turned a scarlet mess her eyes shined empty skies amidst the bloody grass white daisies blushed and crowned her pretty head
you closed her eyes and walked unseeing into night the grass cut my feet as i ran away blind
but to this day i can see her stare       and her pale limbs and fairer Aulis

Devious Journal Entry

Mood: Llama
Listening to: Magida el-Roumi - "E'tazalt el-Gharam"
Reading: Richard Dawkins - The Ancestor's Tale

The semester's over! (Or almost so, anyway...)

With a whole month to myself, I'm going to write, damn it. I'm hoping that by actually informing someone of my intentions, I'll actually stick to it...

We'll see how that goes, right?
