Shift junction30-11-12

Shift junction.

High heels on the gas
on a roller-coaster cart -
fueled with greener grass, carrot juice
and red hot beating hearts.
I am on my way up - tonight.

and I see - in that same damn mirror -
a woman who knows too well
those impossibilities are
but a homegrown religion -
gazing back at me, singing:

don't fight the urge to jump, cause
skin is breathing in
what reality can stand to gain
by dreaming - up on the fast track -
with all these doors unopened.
teach me14-11-12

teach me

i giggle as i
pull you closer and say
is this how you like it
because i'm
new
and alive
and it's a funny thing i say

but
it's okay to ask

you are
still here
still here
still here with me
after all of it

you teach me not
to run
but laugh
and i
just ran out
of reasons

skin against skin
and i ask you
is this how it's done

because it's okay
to ask you

teach me
Carefully30/31-10-12

Carefully

I picked the wrong time
to fall sixty-
six kilometers apart, my heart
is somewhere in a cardboard box;
I pray you wrapped it
carefully.

The past, like a desert sand
storm, I am cocooned
inside of it. The snakes are screaming
for me to come back. So
I pray you'll say you'll be here
soon.

But I
am down to the last
bottle of white wine, down to
the last time
I'm screaming at air. Down to the last secret
I need to share.

But it chose the wrong time
to crush me; I'll kick it back freezing
just one last time, please,
don't lay your arms around me.
I pray you'll ask me
carefully.

DIY: Section Punch Toolby *Marenne

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 5787 × 6327
This is a very handy tool for bookbinding. It makes punching holes in your sections a lot easier. The 45 degree recess was made by a local carpenter using his rotating circular saw. (It took 3 minutes!) The top part was destroyed in the process, so I made that part out of cardboard. Different versions allow for variation.

Feel free to use this as a guide to create your own!

I don't really know what mill borde is. But if it's some kind of cardboard I think you could always try. Other solution is to grab a phonebook, open it up at the middle and use that...

ahhh um mill board is what we call the board used for hard cover books here

We call it Escaboard :P But to the point. I once made a cutting mold out of several layers glued together, with elegant curves (a lot of sanding), so I usuppose it can be done. Not with folding though, I don't think that'll withstand the pressure...

Very nice solution.

The channel at the bottom of the V-groove provides for positive penetration of the awl when punching, and allows one base to be used for many different hole spacings. Also a very elegant solution for the hole spacing jig. I like that you have several and each can do one or more spacing configurations. When Spring comes I'll have to break out the table saw and make one :)

Thank you! I find it's the best solution for me. I hope it's of use to you in the future too! :)
