My friend and I broke up. It was nice. Many times. We had quite a physical connection. I won’t go into a lot of detail as that is for her. She often made me feel like the “Minotaur”. I’m not sure why. Something about our particular alchemy. I felt grounded. With huge horns. As though I were in some Classical fresco.

I also wondered if our alchemy stimulated me to write. I don’t think so, but I would envision characters on occasion. Little scenarios. Usually mythological creatures and/or fantastical characters. Just being in little vignettes. A 3rd dimenison aching for a 4th. Hintings of a story wanting to happen.

I fully attribute this to our alchemy. That was a nice thing. A nice connection we had. I’d love to share more of that with her but can’t and/or won’t at the moment. Even this blog is a little vague. I just watched an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and for some reason starting thinking about her. I think it was because I like to research people in media I consume and found that Cheryl Hines is more or less from Tallahassee where I lived for many years. For some reason that made me think of my friend and our alchemy.

The word “alchemy” means “black earth”. This is one of my “black earth songs”. It is entitled “Long Ropey Tail”. I envisioned making love with my friend as a type of mythological creature with a long, prehensile like tail. A sexy, ecstatic Goddess being held and guided by a fierce lover with his graceful, intelligent tail. I don’t draw (yet). Here’s what I got:
