Possible front cover for the first book - 'We two boys together clinging'

  1. power relationship but no love or sexiness, despite the title?

    Oh - and way out of time, surely?

  2. maybe. out of time's good for me. i see it as people clinging out of desperation - both going down together. it was taken from that david deitcher book 'dear friends', which had photos of lots of pretty young men and old bearded dears sitting on each others laps and embracing before the term 'homosexuality' had been invented. i like simple contradictions - the idea of clinging and pushing (in relation to this as a possible cover). i just imagine that they are both the same person. the word 'overcome' is attractive too. miro's writing a poem about the use of the classical 'e' (written as a bisected c) that's in this image, and is the way one of his lovers writes them. the line: 'his e was a c with a an arrow through its tit' will be in it when i, i mean, he, writes it. this will be a poem from his 13th year, and will be the result of reading a lot of silvia plath and ee cummings. thanks for your post.
