We Are All Only Human, Give Up the Ghost

This is a poem I wrote back in 2008 found on my newly unearthed flashdrive woot woot! I don't know Thom, have I given up the ghost yet.We Are All Only Human,Give Up the Ghost.OpeningI prefer to present myself in negatives.I have learned that when you address the positives, everything unravels, eventually.This is home. Skeletons may be dead, but they will always be there, are there, dusting lint from their lapels This closet was built in when the floor plans were laid.1. Real Estate SafariI’ve lived in a house with a closet built in. When I opened the door, to retrieve my coat, a skeleton reached out shook my hand.I rented an apartment with a built in tub. When I filled the mirror with steam and started to rub-a-dub dub, puddles and puddles of blood appeared.There was once a garden on the edge of town, a public space for public faces. Children ran ‘round the trees and the birds and the bees did as they pleased in hidden places.2. Construction OptionI have an architect friend who I hired once to raise me a barn. I filled the rafters full of spiders who wove webs in yards for yards. Every last cavity, floor to ceiling I shoveled in hay to bursting, houses for the creatures that would live there one day in the flesh.3. However still:I apologize. This kitchen is used. My good aunt and I prepared unaware our dinner last night. I wrinkle my sleeves to my elbows tight; water my hands to prunes scrubbing at the entrails. Arms laden as I let loose the cupboard doors, every shelf, brimming dread full with filthy china entirely.Welcome HomeThe guest bed is always tucked in to the chin. Each sheet primed and pressed for sleep, however elusive. There are dream catchers that bleed out the mares from the night previous. Parallel am I, where at the closet, marrow drips onto slippers high heels and unnecessary things while I dress, for church, in clotheshandeddownonegenerationto the next.

Dear Thom

Dear Thom,First of all, Happy Birthday! I haven't spoken to you in a long time and have been ignoring you in my mind where you sit on a throne higher than Jesus. I don't know what to say but that I love you and am glad you are still with me in some stranger than fiction way. I am now the straighter edge but don't go hooray because it is meaningless to anyone but myself. I know this but am proud. I love you Thom. I am not really your lap dog, I am more the size of a doberman pincher (to hell if i got that right like i know dogs pfft). I recently got out of a grouphome and am now living in my own little jail cell called a one bed and bath on the stream side of Chippewa Falls. I would love for you to come and visit. Message me private for the address if you are curious to meet me. I know i am curious to meet you but sadly live on disability and am poor but still maintain that extra something stylish-whether it be considered a dada or fluxus lifestyle i cant guarantee. It is a relief to be talking to you again. I don't feel like i have been living without feeling you touch me in some way. I am listening right now to your music and it lifts a weight off my heart. I also unearthed in old belongings a flash drive containing my entire poetry chapbook and some shortstories i had written like a miracle! A piece of my heart died when i destroyed the remnants of my laptop and flashdrive which contained what i thought were the only saved copies. Happy Day! But out of curiousity do you know of any poetry publications that require a reasonable fee to publish? I don't know of any and am starting to save money but the cheapest ones i have found require like $1200 and i just cannot afford that but i did apply to the Arkansas review. Now that i have my chapbook I have two books of poetry to publish and am 60 pages into a novel that i initially posted the chapters of on this website. Anyway won't chew your ear off but listen for my little voice in your ear tonight because I may be psychotic but i swear you listen...Love,Rhael

Jonny Greenwood is a wise man

Last Friday, I saw a holistic dentist who confirmed what I already sensed that I had mercury poisoning and that I would have to do some expensive dental work because of that. Even though it didn't come as a huge surprise, it really put me down being on my birthday and all this. But then, in the evening I found out Jonny (our Jonny Greenwood) had posted this on his Twitter account -->

How odd! Well, anyway thanks Jonny, this certainly is very wise advice. I love the humour of all these synchronicities sometimes!

Happy Birthday Mr. Yorke

11010969684?profile=originalDear Thom. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of you as a human being. I am so glad you made it to this birthday. I came to know you and Radiohead, the summer of 2008. My life has only become better since then. I listen to one of Radiohead or your albums once a day. Thank you for adding some quality to my life. Thank you for helping me to progress into the human I have become. Blessings and Peace to you and yours. Jean Dotson
