It's pouring memories ...

RAIN

She said she liked the rain

sometimes. I, that the only thing

I have against it is it makes

you wet. Anyway on hot summer nights

the sound of it is cool. She said

when you are crossed in love

you listen to the words of the songs.

I said that being in love is bad

for the stomach; no one

should be in love after thirty.

She kissed me and ran naked
out in the rain, and indigestion

burned inside me like a fire.

What a wonderfully great choice for a quote (for a blogword post). Loved it!

Absolutely fab!! Three cheers for Liverpool - no wonder Ginsberg called it the centre of consciousness of the human universe.
ZAK, didn't know you were such a fantastic painter too.
Beautiful.

somehow your illustration manages to fill me with dread and touch me at the very same time...on one hand it's overpowering in a way that seems as if it's obstructing and confining, trying to make me choke by stopping me from breathing, and on the other hand it makes me want to let go of reason and drown into its abyss of sweet oblivion...amazing :) and this is coming from a person who ordinarily isn't very responsive to imagery :)

and thanks so much for visiting my blog...i just saw your comments :)
