Loose Woman

Sandra Cisneros

I found this book, ‘Loose Woman‘, by Sandra Cisneros when I was searching for something good to read in the Strand the other night and I think she is way fresh! I read, ‘Woman Hollering Creek: And Other Stories‘ by her, but that was like 1000 years ago and didn’t realize it till I wrote this entry. Life…

Love Poem For The Non-Believer

Because I miss

you   I run my hand

along the flat of my thigh

curve of the hip

mango of the ass   Imagine

it your hand across

the thrum of ribs

arpeggio of the breasts

collarbones you adore

that I don’t

 

My neck is thin

You could cup

it with one hand

Yank the life from me

if you wanted

 

I’ve cut my hair

You can’t tug

my hair anymore

A jet of black

through the fingers now

 

Your hands cool

along the jaw

skin of the eyelids

nape of the neck

soft as a mouth

 

And when we open like apple

split each other in half and

have seen the heart

of the heart

of the heart   that part

you don’t   I don’t

show anyone   the part

we want to reel

 

back as soon as it

is suddenly unreeled like silk

flag or the prayer call

of a Mohammed   we won’t

have a word for this except

perhaps   religion

Day 101 – Tape the New Subway

Tape the New Subway

I am not going repeat what I already wrote here. A quick synopsis, starting August 1st, 2010 I will publish a picture I take that day everyday for a year (well to be exact I will do this everyday until July 31st, 2011). This is the 101st of those photographs. Also, there is a Flickr collection called “The Awesome Leftovers” where I put the daily shots (if any) that didn’t make the cut.

Check out the cool tape they are using to build the Second Avenue Subway station. :]

Good times MTA.

Yeah, I made it to the 100th day! I think that is pretty fresh. I have learned a lot about taking pictures, myself, and others during these last 100 days. I am glad I decided to do this and am excited for the days ahead of me. :] This shot and the Day 100 – Where I Live shots are all someplace in my apartment. This is how I live. :]

Enjoy.

I woke up this morning and low and behold the 17th mile of the New York Marathon was outside my window. That was pretty cool. Then off to Soho for some fun and Hampton Chutney. Here are some more fabulous shots, Day 99 – New York Marathon and Hampton Chutney.
