"Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be" ~ Kurt Vonnegut
I used to be known as Cloudhopper - I was pretending, of course. For reasons too convoluted even for me to understand I scheduled this account for deletion. And then I ran away to sea. As it turned out, this account hadn't deleted after all, but hidden in a shoe-box in the attic. There's another cloudhopper round here these days, but that's not me.

somewhere i have never travelled ~ ee cummings
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
A stumble, via tikky. I love cummings more by the day.
