stand tall over me
defiler of souls
my body is devoid
of christian doctrine

souls are aimless
the heart is what
drives the body
to desire

when i kiss the curve of your neck
he asks if the fires of madness
is worth the prayer to lessen our pain

but i'll walk
on your bad side

downpours heavy
i am all too eager
to follow you
through waterfalls
and uncertainty

comfort is another
word for lifeless
and you are all
too full of vigor

he starts to unzip my jeans
calls me baby
but the word is foreign
like he's never called anyone baby
but enjoyed the thought

the pages are as worn
as my lungs
choked from smoke
and dreams of survival
long past

i never intended on lasting this long

don't feed me coins
death will have
to take me broke

when it calls
you only see the world
through a kaleidoscope

and my sight has not
yet recovered

was so AWESOME! I got to finally meet some friends face to face, dance with strangers, pet a bunch of dogs, and listen to my friend recount how he just punched a nazi in the head.

I’m mulling over whether or not to be at as Big Debbie and handing out snacks to the pride goers because parades and large gatherings are known to have very pricey foods

OTD 1745 Jacobites routed government forces at Prestonpans, after using a night march to get within striking distance. Same tactic was to fail badly at Culloden. Impressions of the march & battle by the much missed Andrew Hillhouse, one our finest painters of historic battles.
