                <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ This bitter taste lurks inside my mouth where youve placed it, with your words of sympathy and your condescending tone. Sometimes I feel that you dont understand, or maybe its just that your tongue is tangled up in knots again. This vermilion sin of lust that Ive licked off your lips belongs to nobody now. Its all consuming, and Im willing to sacrifice myself to it just to have some peace and quiet. Im willing to open the flood doors and let it all come out, let you in, except thats not what you want at all. The emotions only seem to clutter the picture youre trying to paint, a scene of heaven composed of original sin and romantic id ]]></media:text>

Im dizzied; Im confused. I wobble, but I dont fall over yet. I feel I must keep standing, even though my knees are begging me to let them buckle. Â I spin some more, and then I give in. I fall. The sky looks so beautiful and I wish to get lost in it. The dizzying twists of stars and clouds in my muddled mind make me feel as though the world is spinning too fast now.

I dream of you wearing my ring and me wearing yours, even though we already got them for each other. We lay together, intertwined under a yellow sodium streetlight superimposed over the flaking walls and watch B-movies on an old tv. When we close our eyes, the ceiling disappears and the canopy of stars winks at us as if to say there is a reason you are here. Ideally, I would love to photograph this scene but I find myself leaving my camera on the nightstand and snuggling up close to you.
