He is a man. He is solid and humble.&lt;br/&gt;
She tells the story three times, convinced&lt;br/&gt;
he does not understand. He is trying.&lt;br/&gt;
The story is about an elephant and a mermaid.&lt;br/&gt;
No, the story is about a millipede in a thicket of roses,&lt;br/&gt;
a prized buckskin horse and fifty lashes.&lt;br/&gt;
She is talking gibberish. He is trying to understand but she&lt;br/&gt;
is thunderbolt. Her tongue, a spear.&lt;br/&gt;
The dog is hiding in the back corner of a dark room.&lt;br/&gt;
The man wants to sit with the dog. She is melting.&lt;br/&gt;
Her face pools in her lap. Freckles pile at her feet.&lt;br/&gt;
There is nothing in the room that has not been hurled.&lt;br/&gt;
She is science like this. An atom, separating.&lt;br/&gt;
Finally, the story comes, like flood. Its mud seeps in&lt;br/&gt;
from under the doorjambs, rising. They are standing&lt;br/&gt;
ankle deep in water and rot and he understands now.&lt;br/&gt;
He is a spiced wound. He wants firearms. Hit-men. A brutal justice.&lt;br/&gt;
All the while, the window is sitting with its mouth open,&lt;br/&gt;
spilling their hot storm into the courtyard&lt;br/&gt;
where the neighbors have come to their sills,&lt;br/&gt;
elbows propped, hungry&lt;br/&gt;
like vultures.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.friggmagazine.com/issuetwentynine/poetry/verlee/telling.htm"&gt;Jeanann Verlee, the telling&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://grammatolatry.tumblr.com/"&gt;grammatolatry&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/11263659184</link><guid>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/11263659184</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Oct 2011 01:19:34 -0400</pubDate><category>jeanann verlee</category><category>lit</category><category>poetry</category><category>featured</category></item><item><title>i can never get to sleep</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqnst3oUu31r1oetao1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;i can never get to sleep&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/9534517331</link><guid>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/9534517331</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:33:25 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqnf0hKFae1qbvbl6o1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/9534364573</link><guid>http://erikaciccariello.tumblr.com/post/9534364573</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:28:56 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>rules to live by right now haha</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://infinitemeasures.tumblr.com/post/9359841670"&gt;infinitemeasures&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Breakup rule No. 1:  Destroy all pictures where he looks sexy and you look happy.&lt;br/&gt; Breakup rule No. 2: Until emotionally stabilized, enter no stores.&lt;br/&gt; Breakup rule No. 3: Never stop thinking about him, even for a moment. because that’s the moment he’ll appear.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; And finally,the most important breakup rule: No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart plays hopscotch when I feel your&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;radiance humming its nude desires under my&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;heavy breath. The irregular thump sounds akin&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to an alcoholic bass drummer sleeping atop&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the skin of his snare. Its like childhood all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;over again when I detect the emanating&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;heat waves from your over active…&lt;/p&gt;
