I'M GOING ON AN ADVENTURE.

heading downtown with quarter-turn and castles for frolicking and photography, then it’s off to seattle for me.

one with the freaks // the notwist

you’ll no longer be kissed and kind
as you long for intuition…

de "el mar y las campanas."

No hay mucho contar,
para mañana,
cuando ya baje
al Buenosdías
es necesario para mí
este pan
de los cuentos,
de los cantos.
Antes del alba, después de la cortina
también, abierta al sol del frío,
la eficacia de un día turbulento.

Debo decir: aquí estoy,
esto no me pasó y esto sucede:
mientras tanto las algas del océano
se mecen predispuestas
a la ola,
y cada cosa tiene su razón:
sobre cada razón un movimiento
como de ave marina que despega
de piedra o agua o alga flotadora.

Yo con mis manos debo
llamar: venga cualquiera.

Aqui está lo que tengo, lo que debo,
oigan la cuenta, el cuento y el sonido.

Así cada mañana de mi vida
traigo del sueño otro sueño.

(Pablo Neruda)


for the translation and why i decided to post this poem in spanish, please read more.

  • quarter-turn: [tells long, involved story which basically amounts to him saying hello to his crush and the guy saying hello back]
  • lotus: ahahaha that's cute.
  • quarter-turn: aw.
  • lotus: you're talking to someone whose high point of the morning was talking to someone's mother. i'm not going to judge.

i might’ve posted the covers for this before, but hey. you haven’t seen the inside yet.this is contrasts, a mixed-media flagbook. spring 2009.i dyed and/or painted the inner papers by hand, and did the drawings on the covers straight in ink. i wanted to create a book that would make absolutely no sense. :D the subject matter for the covers was inspired by rococo french heraldry designs (which is not one theme but rather several), traditional japanese patterns and natural history.

i adore her; she’s a sweetheart.  // 1 ♥

late-night post that i'm probably going to regret of the week:

well, you’re off, or will be, in a few hours. i’ve already said my good-byes and godspeed.

but— i hope you realize how much i care about you. yes, we laugh and we smile and we act like the whole world’s ours, but to be honest i take this seriously. this thing us (i keep writing that; notice a pattern?) whatever it is. whatever it will be. i hope you see that. i hope (though that’s probably asking too much) you feel that way too.

okay. love you, love the world. good night.

dear iambic pentameter,

you are awesome and lovely and make poems sound great. however, you are also the reason why i stick to open form. (that, and i’m not good at rhyming.) you’re going to make my writing super legit though, so thanks.

am counting syllables on my fingers and saying random words out loud to check emphasis. will continue to persevere.

much love,
lotus.
