Hey writers of the world!

I've seen a lot of people do these question and answers things, and thought I'd give it a try. 

So, whether you sincerely want to get to know me, or are just bored and want to contribute to someones happiness, questions are much appreciated. You can ask as much questions as possible, I really don't mind. Go crazy! 

And don't be shy. You don't have to ask questions about my writing; it can be about...

sigh with the bones
of this earth, child.
(it aches shakes breaks)

plunge your hands into
the sopping stars,
& sing to the cities
that scarred you.
(that was eons ago)

do you hear their
screaming, dearest?
(i hear nothing else)

then return, sweet,
fingers sticky-stuck
with forgiveness,
& watch them unfold.
(i shall i shall i shall)
 

hi, i'm taking part in the peer review-a-thon, and if you would like a review on a piece, please leave a link in the comments. i write pretty detailed reviews, and spend a considerable amount of time on each one of them, so i won't be reviewing all of the linked pieces, just the ones i really like, but i'll try to leave a comment on each one of them.   

They knew what they were doing was wrong. They had grown up in their pristine, gleaming city knowing this. Here, the people were safe from all peril, inside the city or out of it.

Of course, there really was no danger inside the city; it was a safe haven for all those who lived within. The real menace was outside, but the people inside were protected from that.

Or so they were supposed to think.

They wereprotected from it;...

i will be whatever i need,
even if it eats me
even if it defeats me
i will be
whatever i need

the water lines are showing
as i pull back the waves, blankets
of heavy green and grey.
a clear incision; the splitting
of bodies; eviscera and sin
spools out. trash heaps
and tragedy; in the guts i must
swim. swim, and the storms
draining, draining, crash
into mountains of memory. the plastic
entangles me. i can hear the whales.
they are singing; they are drowning;
in the shiver of the wind.
