Every Candy had her Danny boy

Once upon a time, there was Candy and Dan. Things were very hot that year. All the wax was melting in the trees.
He would climb balconies, climb everywhere, do anything for her, my Danny boy.
Thousands of birds, the tiniest birds, adorned her hair. Everything was gold.
One night the bed caught fire. He was handsome, and a very good criminal.
We lived on sunlight and chocolate bars.
It was the afternoon of extravagant delight.Danny, the daredevil. Candy went missing. The days last rays of sunshine cruise like sharks.
"I wanna try your way this time."
You came into my life really fast, and I liked it. We squelched in the mud of our joy. I was wet-thighed with surrender.
Then there was a gap in things, and the whole earth tilted.
This is the business. This, is what we're after.
With you inside me comes the hatch of death.
And perhaps I'll simply never sleep again.
The monster in the pool.
We are a proper family now with cats and chickens and runner beans. Everywhere I looked.
Sometimes I hate you.
Friday - I didn't mean that, mother of the blueness.
Angel of the storm. Remember me in my opaqueness.
You pointed at the sky, that one called Sirius or dog star, but on here on earth.
Fly away sun.
Ha ha fucking ha you are so funny Dan.
A vase of flowers by the bed. My bare blue knees at dawn.
These ruffled sheets and you are gone and I am going too.
I broke your head on the back of the bed.... the baby died in the morning. I gave him a name. His name was Thomas. Poor little gal.. ..
His heart pounds like a voodoo drum.

Candy quotes

  • Dan: [reading of 'I Carry Your Heart With Me' by E. E. Cummings] Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart... I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

  • Dan: We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete.
