[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 2544423, member: 2785"] Man, TB, you're my hero. I hate that guy from The Cult. And the one time I saw their show, they sucked. My story. Hmm. Joining the party late. Do I bother? Nah. It's way too much to get into; I'm with JGB on this one. Here's a poem I wrote for my ex-girlfriend. [font=Goudy Old Style][size=3][u]Santa Cruz[/u] [i]For Britt[/i] Ancient trees huddled like a church choir, belonging to bare feet and Birkenstocks, long skirts and gnarled tresses untainted by chemical fashions. A green river of life swelled around me as I stood in the parking lot at Hahn, a crescendo rippling down from old Europe, a vertical mass I inhaled while treasuring fading transmissions about rock star professors, the McMillan house, and Stevenson College. The squat buildings atop that bluff impressed me less than my memories of your wistful reminiscing. I saw it all: the deer too pure to run, the quarry village where it floods in a storm, with its communal kitchen and driving quiet, an alien nation far removed from the center of heaven. I imagined you there in those small halls, young and lovely in your room, serene, gentle, sad— dreaming endlessly about your icons, about bright mornings, about flying over Santa Cruz, free. —June 13, 2005[/size][/font] [/QUOTE]
