absolution stashed in.

beauty will be convulsive or not at all. in eighth grade at least.

wandered by xiola's profile page and found that, what i knew had meant a lot to me a few falls ago, and wondered about. did i keep it? looking in the most likely place...ah yes. i did.

i'd forgotten about at least half of the things i'd stored in my frame. he says beauty limps it will be convulsive or not at all the thorn and the sword and the palm the brick the light it's all there with a child or away from anything i could do to harm you

and i knew it was in the pagesandpageslong bit i used to print out obsessively for julia and emma and yes. i remember i found it from patti smith, but for some reason i thought she'd quoted cocteau. was it breton after all? hum.

besides, the above is a soapy wash of cocteau and smith and apparently breton, anyway. i know where the beauty limps comes from, at least.

(these things the girl does to get through the day, what the boy coming home from a long day's work buys to keep his skin moving, it always comes back to this, yes, thank you oh thank you for fourteen and a huge site of p. smith writings and for books)
