Just dropping in to let anyone who is still reading know that I am on a blogging hiatus.
Due to:
Rehearsal
Work
Smallers
Summer
Restlessness
and a touch of Ennui.

always falling again
At Pegasus
by Terrance Hayes
They are like those crazy women
who tore Orpheus
when he refused to sing,
these men grinding
in the strobe & black lights
of Pegasus. All shadow & sound.
"I'm just here for the music,"
I tell the man who asks me
to the floor. But I have held
a boy on my back before.
Curtis & I used to leap
barefoot into the creek; dance
among maggots & piss,
beer bottles & tadpoles
slippery as sperm;
we used to pull off our shirts,
& slap music into our skin.
He wouldn't know me now
at the edge of these lovers' gyre,
glitter & steam, fire,
bodies blurred sexless
by the music's spinning light.
A young man slips his thumb
into the mouth of an old one,
& I am not that far away.
The whole scene raw & delicate
as Curtis's foot gashed
on a sunken bottle shard.
They press hip to hip,
each breathless as a boy
carrying a friend on his back.
The foot swelling green
as the sewage in that creek.
We never went back.
But I remember his weight
better than I remember
my first kiss.
These men know something
I used to know.
How could I not find them
beautiful, the way they dive & spill
into each other,
the way the dance floor
takes them,
wet & holy in its mouth.

little bit of me
I have been tagged by Parabasis for a MEME. So here goes.
Bloggers must post these rules and provide eight random facts about themselves. In the post, the tagged blogger tags eight other bloggers and notify them that they have been tagged.
3) I always talk about cutting my hair really short, but either chicken out, or get a role that wants me to have long hair, and use that as an excuse.
4) My favorite holiday's are Halloween and Thanksgiving. They are all about fun, friends, and food, and I don't have to buy or receive tons of useless shit.
5) I love performing Shakespeare, but rarely enjoy watching it.
6) Before I buy a new outfit I have to dance in it in the dressing room. It is the only way to know if it looks right.
7) Most of my stories from my childhood in Hawaii mention fruit or climbing in fruit trees.
8) I believe that I will someday win the lottery, but I have only bought a ticket once, 4 years ago.
I tag Penguingirl, City Mouse, Playmaker, DCeiver, and anybody else who feels like chiming in.

My random facts are...
1)I like reading MEME's on other peoples blogs. I like getting tagged for MEME's. I have a hard time writing them about myself and am tempted to make shit up. But I won't.
