On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me…

By Matthew Rutledge on 09/17/2009

on the 13th day

(click to play) Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade

Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lightning rods as plumes Double-jointed black men playing leap-frog on the moon

Sea foam in a snow white shroud, red herrings round its teeth Puffball spores exploding on a bed of burning wreaths

Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry Timber moles in mustard, warbling in a minor key

Why do he's call their ships she's?

By Matthew Rutledge on 07/13/2009

I’ve been sick, in more ways than one. The only person I can demonstrably say has kept me sane through it all is someone who died when I was in high school, and someone I’ll never have really known, yet someone I know, someone who, like all the musicians and artists I adore, never got their due the first time around. There’s some kind of perverse fascination in the genius and legend who was roundly overlooked.
