on insomnia.

the things of the night
are more beautiful than the things
of the day.

The light combed through her hair, the reddish-brown of each strand glimmering and fluttering. It was a spring-but-it-feels-like-summer kind of day, the sun barely brushing the top layer of her skin. The dash of chill that wrinkled the air (taut with warmth) rippled and fell away: the world moved slowly past, not knowing, not wondering, beautifully ignorant.

This Afternoon

Yesterday's rain trickles down the sides
of the windowpane.
The sky thunders past.
The minutes tick, tick, tick.

Happy Weekend!

Chariot

The Rugby Poets Club Presents: "Chariot" by Joshua Bennett from Ralph Lauren on Vimeo.

Someone sent me this video today, from Ralph Lauren's Rugby Poets Club (such an awesome idea, by the way!) and I absolutely love it. Everything about it is so incredible, the poem is just perfection. I've just found my new favorite poem, ever.

Happy Monday!

My poem 'Negative Four Hundred' [a title I've always loved, by the way] has found a home! More to come on that later.

And in other weekend news, I saw Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" for the second time yesterday and loved it!

Hope you all have a lovely week! How was your weekend?

Snowflakes

Here are a few snapshots of the snow from just a few minutes ago. We have had on-and-off flurries for the past few days but nothing really major until yesterday evening and early this morning. It's been melting all day but it's still beautiful.
