Frank Horne (1899-1974)

I am a knotted nebula—
a whirling flame

Shrieking afire the endless darkness ...
I am the eternal center of gravity
and about me swing the crazy moons—

I am the thunder of rising suns,
the blaze of the zenith—

... the tremble of women’s bodies
in the arms of lovers ...

I sit on top of the Pole
Drunk with starry splendor

Shouting hozzanas at the Pleiades
... booting footballs at the moon—

I shall outlast the sun
and the moon

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.
Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.

There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
