homicidal lesbian terrorist

i see your women caught behind windows
in their homes, behind rows and rows
of bleached and frightened children.
They speak men's words, not their own
except those languages they've
learned to speak in secret
and in dreams, if they've
not forgotten.

seventhday.improved

blood-sugar, fresh-air, outdoors sunlight, two hours sitting at claire's & a nap with the kitty in two hours of hot sunlight has greatly improved my day.

i'm seriously considering going to meeting tomorrow. gotta look it up eh. where it is.

I am currently listening to: alternative radio of a sort
I am currently reading: Ward Martha C 1972: Nest in the Wind, the story of a woman and her partner living on fabled pohnpei, lovecraft's favourite choice for the home of creepy polynesian demon-cults. the shadow over innsmouth, perhaps his second-famous work, is about the adoption of the pohnpei demon-cult of "dagon" and the inbreeding of small-town massachusetts inhabitants with humanoid sea-beasts - the creature from the black lagoon borrowed heavily from his story in imagining the sea-beast. the best part is that real-world pohnpei has these huge, creepy, mysterious and gigantic half-submerged coral-castles and artificial islands... mwah ha ha
