would it have been worth while, to have bitten off the matter with a smile,
to have squeezed the universe into a ball

eclipse

there is rain outside heavy enough to purge sin.

it's flushing along the road. flushing along the students holding umbrellas, soaked anyway. flushing along the dirt in the cracks of the sidewalk, the dead heads on my petunia, the odds and ends left on the tree lawn (free!).

a frightening total eclipse of the day.

are you reading eclipse? I started reading those books and I can't stop, I can't stop thinking about the characters either.
