Did you know there is a mill in Hell
That turns sin to Love?
Yes, I knew!
For I am an ash-pot,
Kneeling, open to abuse –
the debris of Love –

I swallow all their deed-soot, word-soot, and guilt-soot,
Until I [...]

Being alive is the fact that you have chosen.

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers,
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

They were teenage twins in a silver car they’d named Jenny. Veronica was driving; Rachel was in the passenger seat; a Scottish folk artist was in the CD player, singing hypnotically like a hot bath from a sampler album. Jenny was on her way to the local Japanese steakhouse to celebrate that, after [...]
