the sounds a bird makes... its echo in the frozen morning.&amp;nbsp; ice covered tree limbs, sidewalks, and car tires.&amp;nbsp; the way things are more beautiful when covered.&amp;nbsp; magnified and intense.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;he tells me i am comfortable.&amp;nbsp; i imagine he means like an overweight woman: something to crawl and curl against.&amp;nbsp; a source of warmth.&amp;nbsp; he smiles at the suggestion of me as overweight.&amp;nbsp; undresses me and smiles some more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;he won't stay long.&amp;nbsp; long enough to remain as a memory.&amp;nbsp; until someone else crawls under these sheets and into this skin.&amp;nbsp; he wants to make me gasp a little more.&amp;nbsp; i want to make him feel this is alright.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;last night, it was the brightness of street lamps across blinding white snow.&amp;nbsp; peeking from behind the curtains.&amp;nbsp; the snow plows weight cracking the layers of snow, ice, snow.&amp;nbsp; we listened like scared children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;before we fall asleep we have to be little nightmares.&amp;nbsp; bits of flesh and discard.&amp;nbsp; the only way anything can be expressed.&amp;nbsp; like dancers we fall from position to position.&amp;nbsp; we're post-traumatic pornography.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;after we've finished i remember a line i didn't write: 'the snow finally fell on Muncie.'&amp;nbsp; and for a moment i think to move beyond this image into something more.&amp;nbsp; instead i remove him from my skin before he stains me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a nude descending the staircase.&amp;nbsp; for a glass of water, two cubes of ice.&amp;nbsp; the cat's tail a ring around my ankle.&amp;nbsp; my self on tip-toes to deny the cold the full range of foot.&amp;nbsp; i open a curtain.&amp;nbsp; and, as darkness i peek out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;as afterthoughts, we create meaning.&amp;nbsp; i use my fingers to make him more than a one night stand.&amp;nbsp; to make him linger.&amp;nbsp; when he leaves i wash the sheets.&amp;nbsp; smell his body across them one last time.&amp;nbsp; toss them to the cycle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i sit.&amp;nbsp; to write.&amp;nbsp; my penis falling across the leather chair like a pen to paper.&amp;nbsp; both unable to create.&amp;nbsp; as afterthoughts, we demand meaning.&amp;nbsp; and like the birds, we make so much noise we forget to figure it out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/690984494/it-has-been-so-long-i-have-been-so-far-away/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Saturday, December 13, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/685595295/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/685595295/item/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Dec 2008 02:03:57 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;he keeps handing me meaning.&amp;nbsp; every dream i wake from can be decoded.&amp;nbsp; he wants inside me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; i roll over.&amp;nbsp; so he invents the buildings behind my rib cage.&amp;nbsp; he takes a train down my spine.&amp;nbsp; he keeps asking where the next stop is: 'where do i get off?'&amp;nbsp; there is something he will always want.&amp;nbsp; and i will always keep.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/685595295/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, October 21, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/679235093/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/679235093/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:15:22 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/679235093/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Friday, October 17, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/678713624/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/678713624/item/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:41:18 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/678713624/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, October 12, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/677976690/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/677976690/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:23:36 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/677976690/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, October 06, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/677197768/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/677197768/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:54:40 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/677197768/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, September 16, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/674552595/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/674552595/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:48:57 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/674552595/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, September 15, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/674402806/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/674402806/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:06:57 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/674402806/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Saturday, August 23, 2008</title><link>http://without-end.xanga.com/671530409/item/</link><guid>http://without-end.xanga.com/671530409/item/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:07:05 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://without-end.xanga.com/671530409/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
