Trutha day of sin and sacrifice is a day of blood  one day without the sun eternal darkness   
wishing back the sun,bleed the moon dry  crying trees weep in the wind  dried lakes and rivers flow with cold sand  swimming in the shivering sand traps   
into the underworld full of albino madness  red gleamy eyes dimming crawling through your skin  like leaking blood cells on the ground   
crawling to the surface where the moon drips dry  lakes of sand swell with every wave and sink hole   
murderous creatures with white skin and pitch black hearts  dripping oil,infecting Truth

Teachers to the DeadWhile we slept,  you strapped your arm around  my chest like armor and possession,  like ‘this one belongs to me.’ Together, we are  
teaching the things that haunt us  
to lie down in their graves.   
Here, like this  your demons say to mine as  they demonstrate the art of behaving.  Together, we secure their  broken bodies and set them into six feet of  downward motion.  
        (but we do not follow  
           we cannot go in their stead)   
They do not k Teachers to the Dead

Whisper.Whisper.   
Whisper my name,  in the wind,  in the rain,  so it's silent.   
Whisper my love,  in the war,  
in the screams,  so it's dying.   
Whisper my pain,  in the ground,  in the Earth,  so it's broken.   
Whisper my dreams,  in the sky,  
in the sun,  so they're brighter. Whisper.

2669-BIn the early hours, when he is still asleep, she begins counting the tiny black and white tiles plastered to the ceiling of their flat. Some are chipped, some are covered by a layer of dust, and some are not tiles at all, but cockroaches in disguise. By 143 he has stretched his arms and kissed her neck, by 206 he has tied his shoes and lit a cigarette, and by 262 he's always gone. She knows that the smell of coffee will dissipate by 329 and that if she can bother getting out of bed to call her worried mom for once, or even just go to the damn bathroom, he will be back by 2338.   
If she counts slowly.

Book review 14/01/09

Wed Jan 14, 2009, 8:27 AM
So until my exams are over i'm not going to be able to post any more work on here. But i am still in the process of editing a few pieces that are nearly done so they should be finished in the next week or so.

**

Anyway i've decided to start writing a review of each of the books i've been reading.

AS ALWAYS I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK OF EACH BOOK TOO :)

So Todays book:


Memoirs of a geisha

This is an amazingly well written book that captivates you and draws you into 1920's Japan with such ease and never lets you go. Personally i know very little about Japanese culture yet i was able to appreicate the beauty of it right from the very beginning and never felt ignorant or confused. This is Golden's most brillaint trait, having such a comprensive reference of such a society and such an ease for expressing it.

So what is it about? A small girl is taken from her faimily in apoor fishing villiage and sold into the life of a Geisha. And any precopncieved ideas you may have about Geisha's vanish. Sayuri's strory imposes the important of apperances and mirrors todays (Western) society expicitly.

Prehaps shocking in places, Sayuri's virginity is sold to the highest bidder but never is this seen as something vuler or crass. Golden uses a sensitivity that i have yet to really see a rival to. Women are seen as powerless and yet we do not see Golden's emphasis on the dominace of men and patriarchy (yet neither does he expicitally fight for feminism). This is course is the right choice this neutrality is perfect to show Sayri's helplessness.

Yet what stays with me the most and still resonates is the theme that love is never attinable and shouldn't really be desired. Of course this is something that is echoed through other novels from other cultures (pride and prejudice anyone?. Yet the sense of pathos through characterisation and for the exotically textured world that Golden is able to create in this novel is amazing
