From Whence She Came
Back down to the sea-floor she goes
back to the coracle-clusters and starfish that
clamour, cling to her heart too tight,
walking barefoot towards where she
came from. It is too hard walking on
earth, the way she wears pain like a wedding ring

crazy palpitating wolf-heart, her bloody
deer-throat leaking in the snow, her yellow

The chlorine atom is fundamentally lacking, longing to fill that gaping hole in its valence shell, and those bright bits of energy dancing in amorphous clouds around a sodium atom are just too tempting for the poor chlorine to resist. Chlorine probably knows that it has no claim to those electrons. It might lie awake at night for days or weeks in a fit of conscience, seeking alternatives before sending out tentative feelers and inviting Sodium to join it for coffee... It's a romantic comedy in minature, and I think that we can skip over the montage of dates and dinners and late nights on the couch in front of a

If only people could talk to each other, rather than at each other. It would solve all of our problems. *sigh*
Too often we speak to one another in a constant stream, trying desperately to be heard and get our ideas out there, but we don't listen. I'm so guilty of this it hurts...

- Does the bolding of the word "at" generate its intended effect? EDIT: Bolding removed. It overdid the statement.
- What do you think of "impregnable" as a word choice?
- What situation did you think of first when you read it?

I love the use of the word "impregnable". It adds all those extra connotations. My first thought was of parents fighting. It kinda hurt, but in a cathartic way.
