I love this poem

 Lady Lazarus

I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it----

A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
My right foot

A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen.

Peel off the napkin
0 my enemy.
Do I terrify?----

The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.

Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me

And I a smiling woman.
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.

This is Number Three.
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.

What a million filaments.
The peanut-crunching crowd
Shoves in to see

Them unwrap me hand and foot
The big strip tease.
Gentlemen, ladies

These are my hands
My knees.
I may be skin and bone,

Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.
The first time it happened I was ten.
It was an accident.

The second time I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.
I rocked shut

As a seashell.
They had to call and call
And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.

Dying
Is an art, like everything else,
I do it exceptionally well.

I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I've a call.

It's easy enough to do it in a cell.
It's easy enough to do it and stay put.
It's the theatrical

Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute
Amused shout:

'A miracle!'
That knocks me out.
There is a charge

For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart----
It really goes.

And there is a charge, a very large charge
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood

Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.
So, so, Herr Doktor.
So, Herr Enemy.

I am your opus,
I am your valuable,
The pure gold baby

That melts to a shriek.
I turn and burn.
Do not think I underestimate your great concern.

Ash, ash ---
You poke and stir.
Flesh, bone, there is nothing there----

A cake of soap,
A wedding ring,
A gold filling.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Beware
Beware.

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

Nun's in trench coats!

...I came up with the nuns in trench coats concept whilst slumped on a sofa watching Kerrang with Pauline. I may have to put it into practice, or draw or something >__<>=3 I post things on deviantart nao (most in pencil :U)
Anyway I'd like to use the nuns in trench coats ideas in there, I may be killed by christians but who gives a flying funk.

The prelims for the dump palace are steadily approaching but I'm not phased, if I fail I fail. I would like to leave in the summer though, but I've got a feeling that wont be possible.

Anywho toodles!

Happy New Year!

Good lord it's finally here! No, not a new blog post; 2008!

I don't think I posted at christmas...did I? I can't remember so I'll say Merry Christmas to you!

I did my "celebrating" last night with Hayley and Jordan,drinking Shloer and eating wine crisps...and many many peanuts. It was much fun, but staying up until around half three in the morning is taking its toll on me.

I now have better things to do, rather than sitting with my eyelids hitting the floor typing about it. So for now I say toodles and leave you with this image of Robbie Rotten...


And This...


Well this year looks to be promising, now I'm off to go do stuff in my other blog...
