Everyday Music New Releases Map

I don't pay attention much to popular music, but the artist at the Everyday Music store seems to have a knack for catching the eye. The New Releases whiteboard has been decorated in some clever ways the past couple of weeks.

My Room (1 of 4)

Take a picture showing your room, the room you are in, just as it is at this very moment. Don't clean, don't straighten, don't do anything, simply document what your surroundings are right now.

I did turn on the light box for the photo, because I don't have a flash.

(And yes, I used ComicSans. Nyah Nyah!)

Oh gods.

It's snowing. First snow of the season.

And I'm out of smokes.

This could get interesting.

Obsidian glass spider

Brittle, glass spiders
Creatures of obsidian
Reside in my chest

I feel them moving
Through my heart and down my spine
There are more than one

Soft tissue gives way
The shrapnel of who I am
Rends me with sharp spines

Tweezers of pure thought
Probing deep within my flesh
Until -- clink! -- got you!

I pull out the thing
Captured between hard pincers
Black spines squirm, rippling

I could just crush it
Shatter it between the tongs
But I show mercy

I open the door
And release the thing outside
Into the night snow

It scuttles away
It's no longer my problem
But there are still more

Tweezers of pure thought
Probing deep within my flesh
Until -- clink! -- got you!
