it's mostly good cause it's a true story.

last saturday we hiked into a vague rainbow in joshua tree+lay in the santa monica night sand before cosy-ing up in coach to wake up red eyed at jfk:

my love is building a building... (XII)

by E. E. Cummings

my love is building a building
around you, a frail slippery
house, a strong fragile house
(beginning at the singular beginning

of your smile)a skilful uncouth
prison, a precise clumsy
prison(building thatandthis into Thus,
Around the reckless magic of your mouth)

my love is building a magic, a discrete
tower of magic and(as i guess)

when Farmer Death(whom fairies hate)shall

crumble the mouth-flower fleet
He'll not my tower,
laborious, casual

where the surrounded smile
hangs

breathless

with eyes this salty, it's seemingly hard to get hit by a rainbow

my apologies for being completey absent in the blogland, but life came up.
in an upheaval,.

anyhoo, i'll fill you in after halloween...but in the meantime, here are some new scans from the last week.

p.s.
birthday week is hitting the streets.

santa fe->flagstaff->vegas->death valley?->san luis obispo->big sur->san fran!!!

take care+look forward to TONS of pictures when i return.
