Claire Keyes, "Nauset Beach, October"
I have nothing to say to you today, internet. :( I would like to write you fic, but I can't find my notes and also I am watching The Uninvited. I am only a half hour in, but I think I am supposed to be worried that the mum's ghost is going to kill the main character? But, like, dude. She's your mum, and it's not like you killed her. So IDK what you're worried about.

3. My mum's kitten beating the shit out of my dog.
Nauset Beach, October
by Claire Keyes
How admirable the waters looked,
waves surging in, collapsing on shore
and the two of us strolling by.
It’s summer no more though the air is warm,
the sky blue. My lover adores the surge
beneath him, so he strips to his trunks
and flings himself into the surf. How blue
his skin turned and how he shivered
in my arms as I tried to warm him, drawing
my jacket around him. No lips ever seemed
so blue. Passersby on the sand paused
and clucked, noting my fine hands
stroking his shoulders. It’s not every day
I’m the madonna, the man on my knees
shivering and blue. After this, I loved him less
and tried to pretend I loved him more.
A man so mad for the ocean might throw himself
into anything and then how much comfort
would I be expected to give? Yet
he was once my blue ocean. I threw myself
into his surge. Blue is the color of chagrin.
Once I held a man unclothed and shivering
on my knees. The sky was blue and Nauset Beach
felt as solid under our foot soles
as the love we wrapped our legs around each night,
so drunk with ourselves that we never noticed
the time like a fine blue wave lifting its head
to see how much longer to shore.

ngl, it's pretty fucking awesome. Now that I have a bit of spare cash, I'm gonna see if we can go see Runaways sometime this week. AND ALSO TALK ABOUT FANDOM BECAUSE I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TALKING ABOUT FANDOM. SO MUCH. SOOOOO MUCH. IF META WAS JUST POSTING CHAT LOGS AND AUDIO RECORDINGS OF CONVERSATIONS, I WOULD TOTALLY BE INTO "WRITING" META ABOUT FANDOM AS A WHOLE.
Oh, jeez, I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT PEOPLE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THAT. I mean, I will definitely either make an ecstatic post on April 26th or a "WHY DO I SUCK SO MUCH :( :( :( :( :(" post. But, yeah. I desperately want to do the Named Guest feature, where there's a fourth option for commenting that's more like on Wordpress or whatever. Because then I could turn off comments on my LJ because I wouldn't be forcing people (the computer illiterate portion of my flist which is weirdly large) to figure out OpenID (as it has already been demonstrated that they can't).
