carveher: Crashingly Beautiful: Fire Script During the heavy months my life caught fire only when     I made love with you. The firefly too lights up and goes out, lights up and goes out     —by quick glimpses we follow its route among the olive trees in the darkness of night. During the heavy months the soul sat     indolent and crushed, but the body took the nearest way to you.     The night...

52hearts: Can I try you on for a day? See how well the spaces of you fill in the spaces of me, see how your skin feels against my skin, or what it feels like when our noses collide in an awkward manner? Can I try you on for a day? Feel the warmth of what it’s like on a winter day with your…

“The joy of bourbon drinking is not the pharmacological effect of the C2H5OH on...”

Since I first read this essay, when I was perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old, I have remembered that invaluable phrase precisely and used it on occasion: “hot bosky bite.” For some time, I supposed —stupidly— that...

Electromagnetic weapons: Frying tonight →
BULLETS and bombs are so 20th-century. The wars of the 21st will be dominated by ray guns. That, at least, is the vision of a band of military technologists who are building weapons that work by zapping the enemy’s electronics, rather than blowing him to bits.
