For the Osiris

Wise one, deeper than my own bones
once the observer, the angel underneath
now you hover over me in ways that make me think
anything is likely: water and earth may mix.
My imaginary eye, my pillar
Center of the temple
partner in crime, you become real
in harvest, in the gathering of your limbs each day
the bones that spread themselves in luxury
over me as we become landscape.
New creature, first priest
you roam my corridors as your own underworld
you admire their darknesses.
O you are the teeth of mountains
the spiral of sand
You are a sleeping planet that I watch from a distance
You are what I look around corners to see
You are a red ribbon around my waist
You are a new flame in my belly.

He look bijou — you're here under another name!

Now I thought we agreed that you'd put me on ignore and I'd stop finding you a complete fucking asshole — and a useless tosser to boot.

The world works, my friend, by everyone keeping to their agreements.

Unfortunately I read this via email notification
WE didn't agree on anything, I put you on ignore because I was sick of reading your fawning desperate pleas for recognition from anyone you thought could praise you or get you laid ( to use your typically clichéd phrase)

This thread Is for writing, for the most part, not for you to follow Bij or anyone else around and hump their leg
there are lots of other threads for that
You have the whole rest of the board ,use it
You wander into where I drink ,the gloves are off, and you know it.
smarten up fuck wit
if you are here to write, write,
otherwise everyones gonna figure you out real quick.

You know, even if you tried you couldn't have written something that so obviously applies to you rather than me — and if you weren't the dumbest guy in the room you'd see that.

But trust me — everyone else can see it.

 

[Angeline]

Nobody likes bullshitting in threads more than me, but I hate fighting in them. I know I hate when I do it.

I live with Eagleyez and I know he started this thread to be a haven for poetry.

Thank you.

[champagne1982]

I don't wanna fight about anything more than the last piece of pumpkin pie!..

It's mine dang it!

"I know you are but what am i?"

excellent come back

I've certainly met my match with a wit such as yours.

 

[Angeline]

It's mine dang it!

Mine! Mine! (That's what my daughter used to shriek at me when she was around 14 months old.)

(Me neither. Do you um have some pumpkin pie left over? I'm not sure I can wait until the end of November.)

People were arguing in your thread? Yeah, send them to the parking lot. Some of us have been here for many years and kept this place alive. I get tired of the shitheads who show up and start a stink around here. Of course I'm saying all this because I'm in the parking lot.

 

[Recidiva]

I am argumentative.

 

[champagne1982]

Mine! Mine! (That's what my daughter used to shriek at me when she was around 14 months old.)

(Me neither. Do you um have some pumpkin pie left over? I'm not sure I can wait until the end of November.)

LOL. That's why it's good to be Canadian. Our harvest comes early, so do the squash pies!.. Rebel Ange and bake an early pumpkin pie.

Oh! And no, it's not leftover any more, now the dish is empty!

Eve? I'll back you up until your nose bleeds, then you're on your own.

 

[champagne1982]

Is that nose blood I see?

Uh, Eve? I gotta go.

Nose bleed? What? Those red drippings on my toes in the av?

I hate the word, mine (covers ears and cringes). My 18 mos old can slice my skull wide-open with it.

I thought bj LIKED people humping her leg

I thought bj LIKED people humping her leg

Until I'm told different I thought she was here to write poetry
I assume she'd do her humping in private
like lots of other things in here that no one can see

My son's first word was "balloon" and I thought I was going to have an easy time of it, so I had another child.

My daughter's first word was "no," and she could put a spin on "mine" that would put blood in your eyes. I was telling my son the other day that he needs to watch over her for me and then I remembered what a strong little soul she always has been.

All the wrangling was really started to lure you back into this forum.

 

[vampiredust]

I'm against fighting in any particular thread. But fucking is another matter entirely.

Well well. A conflict thread. And here's my very own name popping up all over the place while I wasn't here to watch. Ape man, you're quite right to a great extent. Thank you.

Allow me to clarify.

I am here to write, to talk about writing, to flirt with really smart writers when we want to play and take a short break from talking about writing (since by definition on line flirting requires writing so that still fits with my basic goals) and to talk about sex, (which can look suspiciously like flirting) since that is ostensibly the other primary topic of the forum, at least within the context of writing about same.

I seek friends, not fame. "Fame," or whatever the fuck that is that seems to get a few folks all upset with me, is neato, and it's being fun, but I did not come here looking for it, I do not seek it (read my posts if you're at all unsure about this) and I am very grateful for it. I love talking to smart friendly people. I enjoy dialogue. I also try to earn the kind recognition I receive. Asked questions, I endeavor to answer them with my best efforts. I appreciate recognition, I work very hard to deserve it when it is offered, and to immediately offer it back to others. Again, the post record should bear me out quite nicely on that. I have no need of fame and adulation, since believe me, I'm quite well-attended in my real life whether I like it or not. Being someone like me in a place like where I live rather demands that one be comfortable being looked at, but I've spent 25 years getting to know the shitty dark side of "fame" and I never seek it out.

I seek charming company, not conflict. I try to BE charming company at all times. I fucking despise snitbitches and idiotic arguments and flame wars and people who can't remember the rules of basic courtesy and kindness, and I won't fucking play in those contexts. I WILL have pie fights. I WILL indulge in mutual leg-humping, since, and this is important, I find that if you flirt amiably with someone, it's a lot harder to get into those ridiculous flame wars that often happen when someone isn't playing nice. I WILL continue to try to be, and to seek out, charming company. There's a lot of it on this board. When I find it, I will actively cultivate a relationship with it.

When silly conflict, abusive bullshit and private sniping outweigh the actual useful, friendly and intelligent discussions of writing here, I will wander off and find some other place to play. I do understand that there are people who find flame wars enjoyable and I won't dispute their right to play the way they enjoy playing, but I will find a different game, since that's not fun for me. That is true in microcosm (you may not see me in this thread again, for example) and in macrocosm, in that if this board were to go too long with nothing but conflict I would find someplace else to talk about writing.

One thing, just for the record, that will not make me go away is psychotic PM stalking. It will either be ignored or published. Or both.

I'm pretty dogmatic on this point: there is absolutely no excuse to be rude and abusive. Ever. It is essential in a written context like this that one assume positive intent, and the rules of courtesy and clear communication are particularly essential in on-line dialogue.

There. Now no one has to guess at my motivation anymore. It's all here on record.

By the way, hi Recidiva! nice to see you here.

Does anybody wanna go play, or talk about writing or sex or writing about sex now?

So, what particular thread are you fucking in?
