Divine Raggs

::come with?::

::anyone who knows the secrets of the universe knows that this is the finest film ever created. forget citizen kane + ghandi + gone with the wind + all that sweeping monkey business nonsense. who knew the behind-the-scenes junk glitters more platinum than the silver screen magic? in the meantime, what i'm really itching to point you to is the infamous road trip scene. i wanna go on one! i have my company selected. i have my soundtrack cheese. and i DEFINITELY have the right raggs to bring. which raggs will you bring, who will you flaunt them for, and where are you heading out on the open road? bring munchies, + do share.::

::forest feast::

:: meet me somewhere in the trees. i've built a picnic table. i gathered fistfuls of lilies + set out my finest sustainable tableware. the breeze is warm + my lanterns are flicker-y. i've brought your favorite snacks, because i don't believe in gourmet cooking for the forest. i know you like green grapes best. and pretzels that look like windows, not twists, and candy with peanuts for hearts. i set your place. it needs you there. i need you here. if you look for me, i'll be the one in fine, fine, fooine divine little raggs. you'll know.::

::kiss the earth enough::

::one regret that i am determined not to have, dear world, when i am lying on my deathbed, is that i did not kiss you enough.:: hafiz of persia via ladinsky

peonies scatter

two or three petals

lie on one another

butterfly

sleeping

on temple bell

the lights are going out

in the doll shops--

spring rain

evening primrose--

there ought to be

a yellow kind

in the summer rain

the path

has disappeared

::buson translation per robert hass::

::there is no one in this world

that is not upon

His jeweled dance floor::

::hafiz translation per daniel ladinsky::

::love, love, love, love, crazy!...::

might as well be singing 'bout a DR-dressed girl. clothes with the power to coax a laugh, play with love chemistry, prolong a gaze, crunch a breath, pluck a heartstring, squeeze some soul juice.

::i can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles

and the heavens open every time she smiles

and when I come to her that's where I belong

yet I'm running to her like a river's song

she give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

she's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down

and when I come to her when the sun goes down

take away my trouble, take away my grief

take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

yes I need her in the daytime

yes I need her in the night

yes I want to throw my arms around her
