Perpetually Untitled: The Writing of J. R. Earlbecke
Septic Shock
09/23/2007 06:44 PM
Loving you was disease
a pathetic pathology
a devoted self-destruction
where intellectual suicide
unthinking unwavering agreement
could
conceivably
make you mine.
Loving you was the wound
that never healed
that scars and scabs over
that oozes and weeps
tears of septic blood
where new flesh will not grow
to supplant
what you left behind.
Loving you was toxic territory
pollution
parasitic
destined to die with nowhere to root
and nothing to draw from
and nobody worth [...]

Could you plant your heart
here
in this
toxic waste garden
thrust your roots
in muddied waters
and
suck the poison in
Could a healthy passion
bloom
inside the confines
of this plot
columbines and caskets
geraniums and graves
hyacinths and headstones
roses and remains
memories and marigolds
deep-seeded
all the same
Could you light a spark
here
and then
weather the explosion
could you bear
the devastation
when
you make love to me
Could a lasting love
blossom
in the flames
of the inferno
violet [...]

Sorry! I’ve taken them down from this site for now. Not to worry, though–the reason I’ve taken them down is because I’m starting a new website specifically geared towards helping people with their writing–Scribe Help! There’s nothing there yet, but there will be soon!

This story originally appeared in Myths edited by Rob Knight, published by Torquere Press in October 2004.
The water was slate-gray where it met the stormy sky, stretching out of sight several miles west where it terminated on the opposite shore. Despite the rarity of occasion [...]

AUDIO: Independence Day, 2008
On this, the fourth day of July, in the year 2008, we find cause to celebrate our vices:
We dedicate this day to that declaration which decreed the end of our subjugation to tyranny and the beginning of our addiction to war; we revel in all 232 glorious years, and it is in [...]
Vote for Julie!

Entered my art in a scholarship contest. 50% of the judging is based on votes from the public. Let’s just say I really need to find some additional funding for school in the fall or I might have to defer, so a few 9s or 10s would mean the world to me. Please visit my [...]

I received a comment on an old post that I wanted to address. Forgive me, I am going to preface this post with a personal anecdote.
When the guything boyfriend and I had our first date, almost a year ago, as we sat together in the car winding through the mountains of Boulder, the conversation turned [...]
I have found my webcomic doppelganger
04/30/2008 10:41 AM
So Ampersand (subtle subliminal message: read his comic :D) directed me to Dar: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary and I think I may be in love. I immediately had to sit down and read the whole thing. And here I thought I was the only dyke dating a guy for some reason (and [...]
