Death on a Pale Horse



Continuation of yesterday's jaunty theme. By William Blake. Picturing doom is the style of the morning, after unfortunate mishaps and eruptions of the night. It is not baleful, it is dynamic, as the possibilities for transformation exist. My advice to you: stop eating the meats at a certain point. They do you no good. The alarm bell of beeps is sounding in my inner ear. The ground is coming up from underneath. Consider that I am trying to smile.

Good luck.

Whilst Hummus may do the same, and the shellfish are quagmirious, yes it is true that the meats do the most violent eruptions cause. Smile through it all, greeet the morning with three e's, and click the clacker off the inner bell.

MM: Did it work? Was I in your dream serving Philly Cheesesteaks last night and saying: "Say wot, wot"? Is that why you are cutting back on the meat?

Corny said...

I want to cuts back the meat too. Does that have to include human flesh?

Corny said...

Man I love that Billy Blake. seeign this image first thing in the AM is helpful for setting the days tone. MM your top drawer.

sloth said...

MM, thank you for the beautiful Blake!!! Every inch of it is stunning... love the sky-feathers.

You're so right about meats - best to stick to the traditional sloth-diet of leaves and the occasional grub. However there is sometimes an irresistable urge to tear into something's flesh.

Anonymous said...

Meats do not include human flesh, Corny, Sloth, you are still free to cannibalize. Watch your intake of the succulent stuff from under the arm, though. It's rough on the way out.

PD, you got my top drawer. You got it.

Today I gotst the shakes like an epileptic. Why? Meats? Oddity in the tum? A small troll inside? Bad dreams? PD I did not see you in my dreams. A cheesesteak would have been welcome.

come hither, smash your good night's sleep on my fleshy rocks!

sloth said...

have you had caffeine, MM? Enough? Too much?

Anonymous said...

I have had a single cup, neither too much nor not enough. Curious.

sloth said...

your pringles must be shuffled... perhaps a nap?

fairy butler said...

is it because of the wizards mm? the wizards that cometh? it is today, yes?

i am gnawing on a blooding goat stump this morn. i am wearing a trash bag. facilities has sent an email complaining about the smell in my cube. WHATEVER.

fairy butler said...

so i want to crap my drawers, so what? that's why i've got on the garbage bag. Christ. why can't they leave me alone?

sloth said...

noodles!

Anonymous said...

Yes FB. Tis the wizard that shakes me. I will not give in. I will still myself.

sloth said...

("noodles" is now my code word for "lol")

sloth said...

MM, sushi cast her calm spell; all will be fine.

fairy butler said...

MM! You will shine like a flower in the sun. a diamond on jupiter you are. I am 100% convinced this visit will bring goodness. Please report back! I am sending the force. i will withhold my pooping in anticipation of your wizard dance. starting now.

More hot wizard action!

fairy butler said...

sloth, the noodle imagery is constantly in front of my eyes. the noodles are like campbell's noodles. the nose is spider-veined and bulbous with oily boils.

fairy butler said...

(not your lovely sloth nose, of course.)

Anonymous said...

Delicious Fairy. And very calming. Thank you for the vein encrusted nasal imagery. We are one in the nose of the lord.

Hi MM, everybody!
Beautiful image. no shaking from wizards.
Your relics shine and are singular. may they be protected from the dark forces.
Space shield activated.

sloth said...

PD, I am finding that if you chew raw pasta dough instead of the soup you can make your own spaghetti... I wish Julia Child was alive to try this one. She would be up for it.

fairy butler said...

sloth, are you making the spaghetti for yourself to enjoy in your own mouth or is there a semi-regurgitation process? do you chew it into the spaghettis and spit back out onto the place, THEN cover with sauce and bile juices, heat and serve? i am just wondering? What kind of pasta does expulsion through the nasal cavities make? not those tiny ear shaped pastas. maybe booger pasta? with cream sauce?

Mountain, direct speak and open, no sun unless. With precisely request must truthful answer. Blameless honesty and all luck is yours. You shine inside, now look they must.

Dearest Mountain Man,
may all the good luck and cheer of the world smother you with coal-blackened kisses. You are magnificent!

krixfort said...

I'm not sure who that chimney86 chap is but I was going to wish you the same Mountain Man. A sooty good luck kiss is on the wind and headed for you.

Thanks and ether kisses back to you. The air is stale in my shack just now, the visitation imminent. Chicken Liver is in the forefront of my mind. I am gagging it up for fun.

Hi fellow nuggets. Did you know or did you not know that it's time to die? I have to finish my homework first. I am a buddy of everything.

The Capt'n said...

ginger ale and crakers, MM, to simmer it down. Ultimately, parasite purge? The alien wants OUT. Blake trips me out. I admit I don't quite get him.

Anonymous said...

It's hard to explain why I think Blake is so great. Awkward, visionary, intense, muscular, symbolic, big ideas, strange format, kind of wrong - all of my favorite things in one. I am working on a little powerpoint presentation for my drawing class right now. My brain should be in better shape. Maybe untangle some of the knots first, stretch them out. Then I will be able to speak properly.

Anonymous said...

Mountain, much sun in Shibari. Many luck of self exist inside this format. Constrict, exhale with mind, clear. Knots bring wish.

The Capt'n said...

Hmmm, makes a lot of sense, the way you put it. I'll take another look with fresh, reinspired eyes.

Anonymous said...

Well Sushi I never. I didn't realize you were into that type of thing. I thought you more celestial, less body-oriented. Huh.

Anonymous said...

It's so weird, my knees smell like soup.

Anonymous said...

Dirk most tangle brings clear. Many knots need tying. Stars inside; the body is sun.

Anonymous said...

Stars inside. I believe you are right Sushi. Knots on the inside too. Limbs are also for tangling, as are guts. Brains. Digits. Hair. Whatever. Tangle it all up and make a mash, serve it lukewarm under healing fluorescent light, the healing drop ceiling. Office type situation. There is a banter between inside and out, a freshness, a clefting, a twaining, see?

I also love Blake, he is curious. MM, why do you call yourself MM?

Anonymous said...

Because he is yummy.

Also, Blake = energy at the joints, always in motion = good.

Anonymous said...

Blake was an excellent hater. Have you read his comments on Reynolds, Gainsborough, Rosa, and Rubens?

Anonymous said...

Martin, I have and I love them. They are in the Grove book, correct? I think Blake is a total genius.

Anonymous said...

There is something so fabulous about reading about someone's inner aversions and passionate hatreds. Especially him. He is so emotional. Love.

Corny said...

MM, Good luck to you with the wizards, you are an orb of light, brilliant like the sun and will blind them with beauty and impress them with your skilz. A wise old wizard once told me to be as rude as possible when meeting other wizards, they like that sort of gamesmanship. Depressing or liberating? Hearts MM

Anonymous said...

Dear Corny, thanks for your kind wishes and thoughts. Unfortunately it is not in MM's nature to be rude in this way that you mention. MM likes to be friendly, as much as he likes to punch you in the kidney. It's complicated, see? But this is good advice you are sharing. Next time I will use it more forcefully. Love and hate are in the air, both at the same time, and it is a powerful steamy soup of flailing behavior.

Oh no. The suits are ganging up. they need attention and want me to sit closer to their stink. I am retching.

That horse of Blake's is making me wild with desire. It's torque is insane. I love it.
