Favorite Quote:
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children; even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay.


Every night,
once in a blue moon,
the four legendary geldings
dance round and round
Gaia's most precious orb.

Every night,
once in a blue moon,
the Pope's calendar
perpetually freezes
on the 8th month.

Every night,
once in a blue moon,
Ceres scatters nine
Roses of Fecundity
over all Eve's offspring.

Every night,
once in a blue moon,
Daphne's light green tresses
are woven into a wreath
for the Drunken King.

Every night,
once in a blue moon,
mother and daughter
may see in
Styx, reflections of Heaven.

A poem for my mother, who gave me a list of several of her favorite things which I then tried to find different names for. Round-about way of telling her Happy Birthday.
