THE ADVENTURES OF MARILYN (Part 23)
In which Marilyn – finally abandoned by D-Corps, and with only Nembutal to defend herself – has no choice. As Yancey Slide previously advised, she quickly replicates as the attack ships of Zeta Reticuli warp from orbit into her neural subspace.
I'm going round the house compulsively muttering "all my spirals are open," like some kind of mantra. There's something really powerful about that line; it's healing.
"She found her way out through a broken nail" is nothing to sneeze at either. Or puking guts through regional lines. Evocative images.
Keep it up mehacn, gutzc, or whoever you are. I, for one, can use some lifting out of the mundane.
Marilyn curled her lip and deftly removed the cherry from her scotch. She bit it in two with perfect teeth. "Oh Mr Igrxl, that wasn't how it was at all. You know as well as I do the motorcade has never been lonely."
Valerie, that's incredible. Took my breath away. Thank you both!
There must be some visceral way we relate to and recognize the cosmos, even if only subconsciously. First the poem and now to that magical image. Pulls you in. Feels so familiar in some way. So appealing. Makes me want to go right to its center and spiral round and round with it to eternity.
Must be some kind of microcosm/macrocosm thing... that the cosmos is within us?
then black woo descends into her visceral lips while a background piano does what background piano do. they burn at high temperatures.

sparkdly sparkle bloom flower moment in space - said the red nosed ostrich to the baby giant.
ReplyDeletewho's that in your cave? - asked the gentle lion.
uhh, no one... - replied the junk loaded old man sitting in his hospital robe in mid-december new york. somewhere around 1935 to be correct.

ReplyDelete"And we all burn at high temperatures."
ReplyDelete13 intervention!
ReplyDeleteBut some burn higher than others.
ReplyDeleteMick, I thought you were cured... try intoning "all my spirals are open" for a couple of days. That'll do it.
thanks Kass!
ReplyDeleteActually that's a slight rip off from the beat poem/exquisite corpse "Pull my Daisy."
"Pull my daisy, tip my cup, all my thoughts are open."
Yeah, but spirals makes it much more evocative, can go further, go anywhere that way. Really grabbed me.
ReplyDeleteAs to the other... scratch that. The last thing we need is a "cured" Mick.
Isn't it "... all my doors are open"? That's better than thoughts but I still maintain, poetically, spirals gives one even more room to take off.
ReplyDeletespiral away then.
ReplyDeleteKass,

This one is for you.
Great choice, Valerie
ReplyDeleteKass, here are a couple more from the same website (a personal favourite):

A general APOD site search on 'spiral' will reveal many more (and probably better)
