  1. …and the craft doesn’t equal the honesty tonight, the venue inappropriate, and the audience asleep.  But hi y’all.  Missed you.

  2. missed you too.

    He sat

    across from me

    listening

    always with a smile

    and a cogent question

    and let me spill

    as much as I needed

    He was

    someone

    to talk with

    when there were so few

    who cared

    It was not lost on me

    that I was paying

    for that attention

    but I could forget

    in our hours together

    Nobody mentioned

    you were dying

    I don’t know exactly

    when I noticed–

    maybe the day

    I realized the

    cards bearing grief

    which sat on your piano

    were words of grief

    that you would soon

    be gone

    I think it was

    the same day

    you told me

    I was now grown

    and needn’t see you

    anymore

    so we talked

    about Death

    for an hour

    instead

    I miss you Kurt

    and I try to live

    your teachings

    everyday

    probably failing

    more often than not

    Sometimes I wonder

    where your path

    takes you now

    snip… to love himself enough, he would have to know.  And all our commonplaces…all of what we accept…is expensive beyond measure.

    pure wisdom

    i’m glad you felt safe here….enough to share

  5. and no doubt painful for you to write.

    I really miss you and wish when you do have the time to write you will do more of  whatever moves you.

  6. write it’s so well crafted so as you said close to the bone that it impossible not to read it not to take the leap your presenting. Your essays are compelling. your comments aren’t half bad either . Sorry your losing a lover, friend. The gift you gave is what real love requires, and not many of us are capable of giving.

    how I wanted to respond to this, because when I read it last night I felt like a “Hey, great job!” wasn’t the most appropriate response, even if I was pretty blown away by the essay.  And I really don’t have a good way of responding, other than to say: when I read it, I grimaced and kinda nodded.  Especially afterwards, when I read your comment about moving past the political and returning to the personal: and the physical.  I’m not sure if a grimace and a nod makes for a compelling response, but I hope it at least makes sense.

    this is a chick post — OK, kill me.

    I like your writing.

    But why should sexuality be intertwined with politics?

    Thx. That was a well painted view. Had a lot of texture to it. Ptay for hom. That’s all you can do.

    Semi-not O/T: anyone seen meteoriot lately?

  10. You are the sort of friend we all wish we are and have.  Mu-wah, Sister!
