a pet rock is the best of all pets: it knew that it was going to be with you ten-million years ago, even though that you are a mere flicker in its existence //// a pet rock is like having a god that loves you; it is something that doesn’t give a fuck about your concept of the divine, or humanity or your ego and still it wants you pick it up, it wants you to put it in your pocket, sun-baked.

The Roman poet Catullus uses the word, ‘irrumabo’, to mean face-fucking, though the actual term derives from ‘ruma’, the Latin word for ‘udder’ … so we can translate, ‘Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo’, into, ‘I’ll sodomize you and make you suck my cock’, or, ‘I’ll sodomize you and make you suck my udder’ … either way is brilliant.

amazons always win, amazzonomachia, Italian sex term, quote unquote, who ever said sex terms lacked imagination?, woman rider
AMAZZONOMACHIA: literally, ‘woman rider,’ one of my favorite Italian words. What we call the ‘Cowgirl’ position in English sex terms they reenact as the mythical battle between the Ancient Greeks and the Amazons.

Love that is dead and buried, yesterday
out of his grave rose up before my face.
No recognition in his look, no trace
of memory in his eyes dust-dimmed and grey.
Christina Rossetti, from, “Love Lies Bleeding”
