On Stage

[starfire-storm]

i.

What silence says  when the hour is holy,  a periphery away on a mellow echo, Summer  on the leaves,  wind and eyelashes.

ii.

soul soft and bare; a lullaby of waves, salt  on the arch of feet traipsing on stars,  beneath the moon, a moan’s  gentle slope  on the edge of dawn.

iii.

collarbone to lips, jasmine and honey in the  hum of your name,

in these wine cupped hands,

what earth,  trembles the way you do?

Silver tridrachm of Samos, minted between 404 and 394 BCE when the island was under Spartan domination following the Peloponnesian War. The coin depicts the infant Heracles strangling two snakes sent by Hera to kill him in his cradle. This type - the so-called Herakliskos Drakopnigon ("Little Heracles the Snake-Strangler") - is associated with the Spartan general Lysander, who claimed descent from Heracles through his father. Now in the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen, Altes Museum, Berlin. Photo credit: ArchaiOptix/Wikimedia Commons.

Ayn Rand fan boy like

Selfish is sexy, someone

Forgot to teach you to

Care, hair like a halo—

How do you face your

Reflection? Perhaps a

Lack of introspection

Can you hear over the

Sound of bootstraps

Snapping? How many kittens

Were in that sack of

Self-importance?

Daphne Guinness “laid to rest” wearing a sheer Alexander McQueen bodysuit and antique veil, and an 18 K platinum chain-mail glove decorated with birds and branches fashioned from 5000 pavé white diamonds - a collaboration between Ms. Guinness and jewellery designer Shaun Leane entitled “Contra Mundum” (“Against the World”). 

“It was always to do with feeling that the world was quite a dangerous place. Also I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone’s neck. It needs to be something else – and there is something extremely magical about armour.” - Daphne Guinness
