i'd rather be at home

Waiting for my man to get back from work. I wonder what he will bring home today. Seriously, the only reason I'm up to date on my reading is because he works in bookstores and brings home exclusivities... I just finished Peter Adolfsen's Machine, which was pretty freaking excellent. It was tiny, compact, and very lyrical.

The following has nothing to do with any of those characteristics.

I should have known there was copper in your pocket

by the way magpies always followed.

When you move, everything cocks its head.
You don’t notice, but things unwind to hear you.

I am glad you liked them! I was beginning to worry...

I added birdsoflace on my LJ that I never update (eyemakeup) -- but I'll also add it to my list of links here.
