Samantha's Blog: September 2009
http://samanthathornhill.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 26, 2009. Summer of Sam, Pt. 3: San Francisco. On his way to work Kevin dropped me off on Polk Street and said explore. I was to belong to my own curiosity for the next few hours until he got off. I poked around Polk, then wandered into Good Vibrations, past the display of antique vibrators the size of car engines, past the rainbow of dildos and tubes of lube and found myself in the back room where. It’s broad daylight. I am walking down Ellis Street in an inspired state, th...Damn th...

Poetry Room: Red Dust
http://samanthathornhillpoetry.blogspot.com/2009/07/red-dust.html
Poems by Samantha Thornhill published online or in print. Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Cleaning day Friday and vacuum. Cleaning day Friday and vacuum bag plump. Red Sahara dust blown Sahara dust blown clear. Across the Atlantic Africa wafting in our windows. Silt ghosts settling on our couches our shoulders table tops. Silt ghosts like flurries in our tracheas our lungs bags. Plump with red Sahara dust blown clear across. The Atlantic the blue wet grave of the dead. Mummy’s ancient broom choked with.

Poetry Room: This Camel's Back
http://samanthathornhillpoetry.blogspot.com/2009/07/this-camels-back.html
Poems by Samantha Thornhill published online or in print. Wednesday, July 1, 2009. On the murder of Sean Bell. Unconcerned with the needle. In the haystack, and the pot. At the ass end of rainbows. No crusade for the magic. Stick, or godmother's wand. Today we ponder the proverbial. We have been journeying. This desert for days. Singing from livid hoses;. In the distance, cacti. By day we are candles. Burning at both ends;. At night we shiver like astronauts. In our measley tents. Somehow it does too;.

Poetry Room: Jezebel's Song
http://samanthathornhillpoetry.blogspot.com/2010/10/jezebels-song.html
Poems by Samantha Thornhill published online or in print. Monday, October 25, 2010. Like flies under Saturday. Jezebel always wore the same. Pantyhose to mass—the jet black ones. With control top and run. No wife’s perfume matched her. Hard ons in folds of robes;. My face into her paisley hip. At men with her left eye. Their wives with her right. Then kissed their babies. Lips cool ocean floors. Secrets sleeping on her. Taste buds like peppermints. How yuh letters, gyul she asked. Once she stuck out.

Poetry Room: House of the Rising Daughter
http://samanthathornhillpoetry.blogspot.com/2009/07/house-of-rising-daughter.html
Poems by Samantha Thornhill published online or in print. Friday, July 3, 2009. House of the Rising Daughter. House of the Rising Daughter. Give thanks to your mansion. Of a mama in that cold square room. The push and pull of breath. That brought you round the bend. On the shores of our regret. We celebrate you angel—. The future needs you. To star in its story. Your face a rising sun clotted. With beauty’s blood—your first. Glass ceiling so perfectly shattered. Watch how you pounce the horizon—.
