anyone have a couch?

my friend and i are road-tripping the US and it's bloody expensive. does anyone have a couch for two house-trained Australians to sleep on when we're in your part of the country? we've already travelled the west coast so we're now heading towards Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida and up the east coast to New York.

i've been reminded that i haven't updated in 66 weeks... shit, ay.

my brilliant excuse is that i've been off
travlin' in south and central america for the past 8 months.

the next destination is the US. if anyone knows where i can find some good 'worlds biggest' things, please let me know.

i will try and be more faithful to the LJ cause. i promise.

cupped & spooned
‘i could sway you’
said cupped to spooned
or spooned to cupped
to her jet black hair
to her lips
to her nonchalance
to her back
then spooned to cupped;
‘i beg your pardon?’
[pause]
‘you have the innocence of a crab under a rock, a crabapple in a pear tree – my partridge’
cupped to spooned
[pause]
she waited
and there was no reply
cupped to spooned [blinded eye]
‘i could sway you, tame you, tie your fingers in knots.
do you remember that time I dyed you hair?’
‘which time?’ spooned to cupped
you’re raven [raven-us] under search lights and spot lights
if we were peas we’d be lost in transit
we’d be two old women at a bus stop, hitching their pantyhose up
we once were nice
we once were twice
‘back on you box’
said cupped
said spooned
sometimes the rings around your eyes indicate how many lies you’ve told whilst caught in the act
the act of noticing fine detail
like threads per inch
‘and that’s how we measure our love’
spooned to cupped
the lightness and weight of a small seashell is equal parts pain and pleasure
cupped:
‘you cut me
throat me
gut me like a fish
and i’m hinged
i am hinged’
‘but sometimes we are beautiful’
said spooned
‘you are beautiful’
said cupped
and she was
and she was
and she was

if you were a butterfly
if you were a butterfly
i'd have you wrapped in the precious leaves of a lemon balm tree
i'd wait for you to fall open to my charms
[because i have so many]
i'd wait to tickle your toes
and hear you laugh and scream and shout
and nod for me when you are ready
to a butterfly
to a soul
to the breeze that blows us in every direction
you are sweet
you are soft
you are much like a tale that's been told
[that i've never known]
you are sweet
you are mine

i like people that wink.
the ability to do so is an endearing quality.
when i do it, it looks like i have a nervous twitch.

this morning i had a dream that i had a penis.
no offence to those endowed with the male sexual organ, or to those who have an inclination towards ?said? organ, but it was rather disgusting.
nevertheless, i had a wank.
love, who was lying next to me at the time, later reported that i let out an austin powers inspired ?yeah baby?.

i am SO not going anywhere near a dream analysis book with that one.

despite the days of silence imposed [as punishment]
by a certain girl that i love very much
she hummed in my ear all the way down the coast
and though the car was full of everyone but her
hers was the only presence i felt
the faint smell of her existed
oddly enough, on my wrist
and the scent carried infinite images
some of which, i hadn?t seen before
it was our daisy chain day that i dwelled on
only an instant in our life-span
but enough to stretch into an elaborate daydream

[your head was in my lap]
[i played with your hair]

when i saw the city lights i remembered
that we had turned into something
that i no longer understood
and i cried discretely, in the corner

these days have been long

these days have not been sweet.

[guest appearance]

once we were both lost
in the awkwardness of the first date
and the second

before i knew it
i knew every inch of her skin

it?s dangerous this familiarity
because when it?s gone
it strips the inside of your stomach
and keeps you in such pain
all you long for is the comfort
of unconsciousness

i'm not usually a cat-person
but this little kitty has stolen my heart
she's from next door
but seems to live her life in our backyard
we don't know what her name is
but to us she's 'ouhla finouhla'

the aroma lately has been that of canvas primer:
another year brought about an easel and brushes (a conspiracy, i think)
which coincided with images in my head
brought to life by a muse
(in the fullest sense of the word)
empty pages and blank canvases
had once mocked me
but now
bare dreams and stories
and the aroma of canvas primer

thankyou
