Oh heart green acre sown with salt
by the departing occupier
lay down your gallant spears of wheat
Salt of the earth each stellar pinch
flung in blind defiance backwards
now takes its toll Up from his quieted
quarry the lover colder and wiser
hauling himself finds the world turning
toys triumphs toxins into
this vast facility the living come
dearest to die in How did it happen
In bright alternation minutely mirrored
Within the thinking of each and every
mortal creature halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts Morning star
evening star salt of the sky
First the grave dissolving into dawn
then the crucial recrystallizing
from the inmost depths of clear dark blue
An Upward Look By James Merrill
Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.
An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer. I hope you enjoy.
Hells yeah! I’ve always adored these.
…If I’m not mistaken, I believe I actually sent you an archive of these waaaay back when.
LOL…I swear the cat is mir.
I stumbled upon the Taco Bell comic spontaneously on photobucket a long time ago and for quite some time wondered where it was from… finally got down to googling it and, oh man, am I glad I did! This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Number seven is my particular favourite. Thanks for the laughs!
without fail, for the past 5 years, whenever I hear someone yell ‘asshole,’ I think of this.
