while breathing, not profanity by la-tigresa, literature

Literature

while breathing, not profanity

webster says: profane means not sacred, or irreligious. no thoughts on swears. imagining sulphur, salty water in your eyes. reading, tap-tap the pencil, objectivist philosophy, as blue light journeys scummy from the television. last week it was the theravada school of buddhism; you had mala beads. at night you said the prayer for metta, loving kindness. in the morning you were strong. double-crossed at a traffic light you cursed and flung your finger up in high defiance. too proud now for eastern wisdom, too empty for atheism, you sip milk. christ brings to mind the hippies from the wharf and stodgy pudgy over-perfumed sunday

Our Rain by la-tigresa, literature

Literature

Our Rain

My swirling multitude of thoughts Harangue me day to day, A caravan, come brilliantly To spirit me away, They dull the edges of the knife, Of honest pain and frantic strife, And prod me gently from their life For I am wont to stay. And lo! Upon their peaks would rest A haven for my mind, So beautiful a place in real life, I've yet to find, I summon you to join me there, And see me laying, stricken, bare, With roses pleated in my hair, But life is too unkind.

no, i won't. by la-tigresa, literature

Literature

no, i won't.

no, I won't. let me cut you. let me sear your flesh like hot wire. the centimeter-long scab on the tip of my right index finger, just under my fingernail, is fascinating me. it was a bread knife, at work today. bled like a sonofabitch for about ten minutes as I went about my business, too busy for a band-aid. i dreamt of smoking pot last night, and now i want it. i want to toke away my worries and fill myself with yet another emptiness, a pleasant one this time. i hope i live to see tomorrow, i hope i don't. it's raining now- i can tell the city feels for me. what- a- beautiful- sight! stuttery reflections in the smooth st

to my parents by la-tigresa, literature

Literature

to my parents

to my parents why is it that in seeking comfort, I turn not to you, but to an inanimate device? why is it that in wanting love I smile wryly at sexual acts and shy from your arms? why, pray tell, do I think of you now as just another passing phase, in the grand scheme of my life…? why is it that you are the cause, and not the relief, of my emptiness? why do you sleep at night, and not I? i am a life-actress, like it or not. i dare the world to toss whatever obstacle it has, at me, so that I may cry and vainly pity myself for an audience only I can see. i am quiet because you like it, loud, because you like it better, funny

ladies and gentlemen, i have purchased a brand-new negative scanner.  once it arrives, i shall commence stunning you with amazing photography.  until then, i will update with a few things that i've taken since i, depressingly, found out my OLD negative scanner is extremely old- for example best used with windows 95- and is impossible to hook up to regular computers. <3
