That thing where I pay money to watch a movie I’ve seen ten thousand times because it’s in a different venue (It ruled)

Happy birthday, Harry Dean Stanton

$Harry Dean Stanton By Jim Mello there's no philosophy to it, you said do not try to rhyme it, or call it by name, or assign it any more significance than the significance that was brought to you, of what you glimpsed briefly, fractionally, in the coming all of that, all of you, is a cigarette, end burning at dusk, eyes closed, inhaled, loved, exhaled, now some of you ash some of you wind$

Rouse. Rouse, again.
By Jim Mello

rouse
rouse, again
to me
in the light like pale morning ocean
rouse
stir
lift sleepy lips to grasp at air
until they find mine
just once more
your hands which pull and, I, giving cultivating the fabric of the bed
there, your hair, there, your arms,
last night's sweat
hold me, perfumed in sleep
where I can feel the heat and skin of you and name each in my mind with my fingers sacrifice seconds in kisses
and this time let me make no excuses
for a door will always be there
and you will not
rouse
rouse, again
to me
this time I will stay

One thing I appreciate about Disclosure Day was it made me revisit Close Encounters with a fair eye and christ what a gorgeous movie. Love Spielberg when he’s on his John Ford alien shit.

Hem, double-barreled without a shirt
By Jim Mello

fifty-something, shirtless, exposed body the shape of a gibbet
for your heart, left to dangle over roads
into Spanish towns, the creaking heard miles
downwind, in implied words
and a drink to subdue all the noise
the heart makes, swinging
there
your life a prized tuna
lashed starboard, bleeding
all the sharks of the ocean
coming to the smell
and you machine gunning them, churning the ocean up red, crazed, drunk, not realizing
you'd turned it all into
a feeding frenzy

Happy birthday, Marilyn please watch her in Niagara (1953) along with a wild ass Joseph Cotten performance. She’s excellent.

A feeling I forgot to hide
By Jim Mello

casual, having caught yourself
in glass
as if you'd seen the flutter of wing
from a bird landing there on a branch of collarbone
hopping between the strung tendons of neck,
and noticing too
that the body was singing the same as a bird carrying notes down
convex lines, muscle,
drawn into you by a thick edge
of charcoal thumb
that loves shape, the ridge of vein and you, in the catching,
peel fabric
away, delighting in the gentle
pull,
revealing the way a lover
reveals the loved
to themselves
thighs and arms caught and
held,
arm matching the tectonic shape
of a hip then capturing it all
the bird singing there at the edge
of your lips

Alternating between saying “it’s a long season” (realistic,admits doubt) and “I think we could make a Series run” (insane, defies the gods in a Homeric punishment sort of way)

A post from David Dayen with a link to a prospect article with the title line “Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding-The American Prospect.” The text of his post is:

To quote one source:
"They're terrified of being labeled anti-law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more.
Problem is, it's not going away."

Copy from OP’s post. It reads:

At 11:59 p.m., there is no mountain. There is only dark.

A sheet of night seasoned with local flashes and detonations that carry their reverberations up and down the neighborhood blocks like children running.
Everyone watches the time, shifts in the cold, looks west. At 12 a.m., the mountain appears. A single peak, held between icy fingers, pulled from above by a few soft detonations. Pink, blue, white. Each shatter, their pieces shooting gracefully in different directions as if with purpose, and long seconds later we hear their shattering from far away. A death echo that is felt in the chest. More detonations, more pieces rushing off with intent, and it occurs to me that these bits of temporary fire do have a purpose: to be beautiful. Nothing more can be asked of them. Nothing more should.

I hope whatever you feel, it feels like that. Temporary fire over a mountain in the frozen dark.

Excerpt of text from the author’s short story “Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho.” It reads:

The Devil sipped at his wine this time. Examined it. Gave it an exaggerated swirl.

"Do you know why women, when they leave you, they leave for good and why men, when they have a woman, they don't want them until they're gone? How sometimes, when you love someone, the only proper thing you can think to do is destroy that love? To rend it limb from limb with your little fingers and then wonder why and never know?" He pointed at himself. "That's me. I am everything about you God can't reconcile."

He sipped again.

"People want me to be holocausts. They want me to be lynchings. Tragic chemical fires. Nuclear meltdown. War. Endless war. That is not what I am. Those things are far bigger than me but if I am so many holocausts it's because you are too. And if you are so many holocausts, so is the Father. And He can't reconcile that."

He finished the wine.

I like how Nicole Kidman looks like one of the most beautiful women alive and Tom Cruise looks like he got dressed up for his 2003 middle school yearbook photo
