Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff —
Authority: 121
This question from Fatima: Did you like rewriting as a student? Or did you start liking to rewrite as you became an author? Students at school start groaning when we have tp rewrite as essay or story. I didn’t like rewriting as a student. But usually I wasn’t ASKED to rewrite as a student. (Which means the ...6 days ago -

Baby, we’re dancers We got that right rhythm That beep bop to the Django Shim Sham down the revue. That’s a beat so special Something spiritual As the tempo slips And our humps bump And your strong hands catch me From a peek toed pirouette.

The movies. They lie to you, you know. What did I expect when I told you I loved you?

Or that other answer. Tragedy and desperation, ...2 weeks ago -
Agamemnon

My heart has been stolen By a prancing puff of a boy, Its tendons cut like moorings, Its thick meat squeezed Like a lump of clay - It throbs, desperately, Like a rabbit’s hide in the fist of a noose. What am I left with? A lad Clutching a sore ankle, And a man who dreams of horses, Of wombs And of one-eyed ...2 weeks ago -

The macadam shimmers and slides like oil in a hot spoon as drops from the tap in the sky collide into echoes forming momentary crowns of iridescent splash on the surface of murky transparency. The Sun’s light seeps through the soggy clouds: paints all beneath it in a shade of mud and old stone. The air carries no ...2 weeks ago -

It was beautiful, a moonlit sky streaked with golden Tears, not quite My own, but always there, wonders Never ageing with the years, lost To most. Underneath this light, I fell alone, although there, beside Me, Prisoners of Ineffability, not Speaking, scared to break the spell Frightened of my actuality, That night, ...2 weeks ago -
Abiogenisis

There is a sculpture of a man. He has evolved through hammer, chisel, art. Through each his stony feet and hands there bubbles life that flows from stony heart. And grinding diaphragm I hear, as from a baby’s gravel-pit first breath; a wheezing boulder overture: the sculptor Darwin’s banishment of death.2 weeks ago -
Wrong Turn

Beautifully burnt tinderbox boy - he returns his top-hat to the coat rack, never once touching his sore, red scars. He cries out for socialism to take his shoe-shine hands to a lump of coal. He doesn’t need pushing, just pulling. Full of fear, he can sleep, shivering. More than once, a bloated fist has drawn ...2 weeks ago -

The sky was a fruit salad bar. All pink and yellow and swirling. Time peeled back the last remnants of night to reveal dawn and the new sun crowned the treetops in appreciation. The fleeting sweetness of this majesty sent a ripple of giddy euphoria humming through the earth. The rooftops sliced through the sky. Light ...3 weeks ago -

Anna had read somewhere, sometime, that London was like a fog, and on the first of the October mornings such as this one, she believed it. It was everywhere, though right now it was blanketing the garden with the promise that in fifteen minutes it would be gone, leaving behind those initial, crisp winter days, where ...3 weeks ago -

[Lucy is alone, flicking through the magazines and cuttings that are strewn around the set] These are the messages from the rest of the world. Too fat – too thin – bad hair – wrong clothes.
