'Call yourself alive? Look, I promise you

that for the first time you'll feel your pores opening

like fish mouths, and you'll actually be able to hear

your blood surging through all those lanes,

and you'll feel light gliding across the cornea

like the train of a dress. For the first time

you'll be aware of gravity

like a thorn in your heel,

and your shoulder blades will ache for want of wings.

Call yourself alive? I promise you

you'll be deafened by dust falling on the furniture,

you'll feel your eyebrows turning to two gashes,

and every memory you have will - begin...'

This is where i am currently and most of the time - Reggie Ray.

My focus is not so much in the lifestyle, though I am ongoingly and pleasingly in touch with various folk. PLUS, happily discovering my new friend.

And I like this because ... i remain ... a slut. And this because ... i am ... an incurable romantic.

'...sometimes it is necessary

to reteach a thing its loveliness,

to put a hand on its brow

and retell it in words and in touch

it is lovely

until it flowers again from within...' Galway Kennel
