Subject:If you're seeing this...
Time:3:15 pm.
...you should go friend lj sorormystica instead - I quit using this journal about a year ago, and am only keeping it to transition my entries over.

Oh, and please leave a comment or send me an e-mail to let me know you've friended me, so I can friend you back?

Thanks!

Subject:1st Notice: FYI
Time:5:09 pm.
...I will be migrating all my entries over the next who-knows-how-long over to [info]sorormystica. Some of you will understand why I might want to change my username so as to be more net-anonymous. Since I've been referring new people I meet to lj as my main personal URL, I've decided to finally just go ahead & change my username.

It's a good excuse to back everything up. :)

So I'm not going to be posting new stuff here anymore. I'll be working on migrating the old entries over the next few months, I'll make a note when it's done.

Subject:Because I promised...
Time:12:17 pm.
...I'd somehow find it. Finally. I thought it was a happier poem, but I guess I remembered wrong.

I REMEMBER HAIFA BEING LOVELY BUT )
Comments: Add Your Own.

Subject:The Gift
Time:12:06 pm.
Mood:mourning.
No idea, brother
that a gift could be so appropriate
a bookmark, two shells cracked and empty
and "Breaking the Shell".
Had I but known, could I retract
- as if somehow taking it back
could make it somehow not true?
But all eggs, once conceived,
given warmth, will hatch -
never thought the next'd be you.

I'd hoped for time
the poem I'd promised but couldn't yet find
only remembered, the opening line
"I heard that Haifa was lovely - " and you were!
so brave, trembling, tracing stars
Capricorn opened Saturn's Rite
Who knew that when you left the stage
You'd forget to turn out the light?


May there be granted the accomplishment of your True Will. ABRAHADABRA, Bro.

Subject:Catching Up
Time:5:45 pm.
Mood:burned-out, creative, crowded.
Music:System of a Down - Toxicity.
I have given birth to a beautiful full-grown woman - please welcome Tara Incognita to the Legion family. I'm sure the audiences I unleash her on will make her feel right at home. :)

I've been writing poetry )
and I now have an official boyfriend, Doug, whom some of you know. I don't talk about him much here because he's not online & can't defend himself, but he's a super-sweet freak who has been spoiling me rotten the last few months & has succeeded in winning my favors. He really likes my lover, which makes me feel bouncy-happy - that's important to me since I tend to create "families" of partners that stay family even if I'm not actively sexually involved with them. Anyway, that's what I've been thinking about a lot lately - we've been negotiating our relationship for the last few weeks, and have gotten things worked out equitably & satisfactorily for the time being.

Other than that, life really sucked the last few days, culminating in me breaking down crying at the doctor's office today. Let me just say this: I RARELY complain about my period. But it REALLY F*CK*NG SUCKS that I spend 1 out of every 3 days in a month bleeding very heavily with severe cramping - plus I'm pretty sure I'm getting anemic (or maybe just mild shock from pain), so I am really starting to chomp at the bit to get this F*ing IUD out of me, soonest! Before I destroy something. The power of Iron is getting to be a bit too much.

Practiced Mass with the D-sweetie last night when Egypt was over visiting, we all started losing it when he plopped down on the floor and read the Anthem in his Daffy Duck voice. I felt like shit from cramps, but it was still good practice. Nice to know that I had most of it stored in memory already, and rarely needed the script. They were wowed when I let the goddess voice out, nice to have that on tap without having to put any effort into it - but I feel like I can't really claim credit to anything but being a channel. Still, it's nice to hear beauty, especially when I am one of the influencers...

Okay, off to thinky-land for a while. I'm reading Breakfast of Champions (vonnegut) and having a great time. This is exactly the kind of writing I've been talking about with writer-friends, not assuming the audience is pre-educated. Loving it!

Bye For Now!
P.S. For those of you who missed the fantastic collaboration of Tom Armstrong and myself last week, we will be playing again at Mr. Spot's Chai House in Ballard on Thursday, sometime between 8-10pm.

Tom Armstrong is a fantastic fingerstyle blues/classical guitarist, and we've started collaborating. I'm also discussing a collaboration with a wonderful new EXTREMELY TALENTED singer/songwriter/guitarist named Jane11, who will probably also be at Thursday's Open Mike.

Subject:Public Apology
Time:2:15 pm.
Music:Tracy Chapman - Start All Over.
Last year, [info]ulrich did some computer work for my dad, and didn't have time to finish it before he got evicted. My dad got his computer back... but told me it was missing an expensive vid card, and that the 120g drive was replaced with a much-smaller 4g drive.

Subject:Oh the times, they are a-changing...
Time:1:24 pm.
Mood:reflective.
Music:Various arabic groove/house ("Rai") music.
...can I walk beside you? I have come here to lose the smog
I feel just like a cog in something turning
Well maybe it's the time of year, or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning

We are stardust.
We are golden.
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.

("Woodstock", Joni Mitchell 1969)

Subject:Occult Geekery...

Mood: accomplished.
Music:Gayatri Mantra.
All That Is - balanced in Your Comings and Your Goings -
Your Being, Your Essence, Your Radiant Illumination,
Are Supreme and Adored, One.
May we perceive, through deep intuition and honed intellect,
The brilliance of enlightened inspiration.
(my personal interpretation of literal translation)

Subject:"I'm going to cram objects into you from every conceivable angle!"
Time:4:56 pm.
Mood: moody.
Music:MadTV reruns on cable.
The weekend in free verse... and a lemming.



Very sure
you heard
the first time.
No answer.
I push the urge
down, to ask again
You'll answer when you're ready,
Tell me, if the Beast wants out to play.



Allow me to close
a few of these windows to my soul.
The curtains were open
and they were letting all the heat out.



God must be a man
Because when he hooked up the plumbing
He connected woman's heart
to her cunt, and man's head
to his prick.
With the way we behave, it's a wonder any of us get laid.



It's so hard to remember
sometimes
that 5 minutes ago
I was atop terra's highest mountain
overlooking the seas
laughing with glory

When I've fallen
I'm under the avalanche
taken in by the undersnow
rolled into a tight cold core
to suffocate
Five minutes, five hours from this now-here nowhere
is a whole 'nother story, shall pass.

Can I please be
dropped on my head?
Clue-by-four at table 22
Wish I could give the Tin Man
it and have done.
Instead wallowing in torment,
lay myself down to dream for the dawn.




What Is Your Battle Cry?

Who is that, striding on the steppes! It is Autumngray, hands clutching a bladed baseball bat! And with a spectacular cry, her voice cometh:

"I'm going to cram objects into you from every conceivable angle!!"

Find out!

Subject:Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
Time:1:15 pm.
Mood: awake.
Important to me but probably not to anyone else. Therefore posted behind a cut tag. Gratuitous lyrix, move along... )

making myself get away from the computer for a few hours - going to go run errands now. Sent e-mail to see if [info]samajh would be willing to go over to the Merc instead of the Vogue tonight - I forgot tonight is the Fetish Teaser thing & it'll probably be packed. The Merc will probably be MUCH less crowded & they have free pool as well as the dancing option. :)

Subject:12/4/03 Prosetry
Time:11:54 am.
Mood: creative.
Music:Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians - She.
(from the paper journal)

Sometimes my life is
Like this day, I'm walking
Forward through gusts
Leaning sideways to stay up

Wishing I could capture this memory
Like I capture a flying leaf
Either way, my hand is empty

Seeing all obstacles clearly
Striding on a slant
Closing my mouth so flying detritus
Doesn't pass the O
of open lips.

11/19/03 "Daylight Savings & Loan" (collected poetic imagery of the day)
corridors of sunlight between
solo cathedral spires, reflecting, glass and steel
underneath lie the crypts, their metal coffins waiting
the moment when the ghosts emerge, shedding
hair and skin onto concrete
