These are the beginning pictures of my 'ripped out wings' project. The scar on the right is a couple years old (28 stitches). The cut on the left will eventually be a symmetrical duplicate of the other. In the end, I hope to have it look as though I had wings ripped out of my back. |

This is basically what happens to me when I feel extremely strange. Although it may look like a bunch of worthless crap to you, it actually has lot of meaning. Heaven on top, Hell on the bottom, connected by one long tube. The rest is unexplainable to anyone, mostly because you people have no idea what was going on through my head when I scratched this onto paper. This was supposed to represent my surroundings at the time. The lower left-hand corner says 'god', making the phrase at the bottom 'god is downstairs'. Don't ask me what I was thinking, because I have no idea what the answer is. |

Old Friend The air was thick with desire and tragic longing. The humidity of a New Orleans summer night had the ability to bring out in a person an animalistic hunger which caused them to forget themselves. Maria savored this sensual energy as she made her way down Decatur Street. She had just arrived in town a few nights ago from Mexico City, and already she was absolutely smitten with this town. It was the perfect home for a vampire. Some might even say that the city herself was a nocturnal predator. Maria fancied the idea that she might stay on in New Orleans even after her business was taken care of. |

| My Ethereal
Love My Love is incorporeal and virtual Like a vapor Without substance and form And I often think That this is what the dead must feel For each other and how spirits Must love when touch has passed away Into the distance of dark impossibility And all sensuous trace is wrapped In cold repose I love you purely like a ghost With mind and heart but mostly words Not formed in throat or shaped on tongue And launched from lips Nor propelled on the warmth Of my every breath But silent they come to you Like a midnight apparition That hangs before your eyes Untouchable and ethereal From the underworld My words reach you now Where these lines appear Inchoate on the page And my voice that moves invisibly From this nether realm Is the sound of wind in the leaves And is the ice-cold moonlight Of a summer night _____________________________ |

| I FORGOT.
First I forgot your smiles Then the shadow of your flesh Then the wrinkles on your palm Then those long slender ledge.
Then I forgot your deciphered name Then the long alphabetical strife Then I forgot the staid solid skeletons Arranged neatly on the shelf twice. |

KISS
When I kissed you In an arid waste of that cheek The tangle of your hair did dissect Indulged in making a tale brief Of some sombre trivial demise Of hope forlorn or of rainy nights And the communication between two hearts Flowered perhaps in meadows of grass Sweet whispers stopped not A song of soul on warm lips Neither charm away nor stop now The wonder of love in mind's crypts.
