"Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence--" my dearest friend says i'm working on becoming the age of smoke and honey. with each year, i become closer to air... i suppose in a romantic, literary, poetic sense, this is a good thing. but more realistically, i'm attached to this whole corporeal existence. the body. touch. all that... good. i want to keep it for a while.i'm a writer and a teacher. as you guessed it, i mostly teach writing although i teach literature as well, not so much anymore. i blog about poetry and poetry stuff at: http://aboutaword.blogspot.com |

Number of Tattoos: 3, soon, perhaps, to be 4 Number of things in my Past I Regret: much of what happened in 1985, but not all meaningless survey #2 You Are a Seeker Soul You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges. You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions. Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist. Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!). Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others. And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically. Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas. Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?Fishbone -Demons Add to My Profile meaningless survey #3 ... "Your eyes symbolize your great flexibility. You are a creative person. You can think of many good ways to get your point across to people as you have very good communication abilities. When someone feels down or is hurt, you have the remarkable ability to help them and heal them. If you have too little going on in your life, you may be withdrawn and depressed, timid, manipulative, unreliable, stubborn, or suspicious. Some words to describe you: peaceful, sincere, affectionate, tranquil, intuitive, trustworthy, pure, loyal, healing, and stable." consider loneliness a lull, as some secret space that jails in the mind, as a circumstantial melody: the blues of wretchedness or the blues of joy; as some totem of penitence or pity or pride, sagging from the neck like a lead medallion or a dead bird: spinning out, spinning out wire-threads or hardfeathers of confinement; as a hypnotist, eye-blind, with psychic sight and strength to unleash the lances of unexpurgated pain, of unquelled thought-quakes, or Watusi-tall dreams. consider loneliness as these things.consider loneliness as a weaver of want, as a giver of needs undefined, as some ancestral repository for a personal mythic tablet; as a nerve, nudged overgently -- or laced with worry; as a womb, wailing out its liquid waifs, its tight lips waiting, waiting . . . as a tyrant, timeless and elastic -- consider loneliness.--eugene redmond |
