To you who cannot sleep

you will hear soft, gentle hissing.
these are not bitter curses but incantations
though of a kind that's known only to beings of my kind

i will slide into your window
right through your bed where your restless body
will be lying, tired and waiting. 

i am singing when i'm hissing, 
and softly i will be hissing until 
your thoughts are silent. 

there will be no rain on the roof tonight.

about the shoot:

we were drinking and videokeing crazy at home one night when i saw kei holding the toy snake and thought hmmm...maybe i should take pictures. this was my first time to shoot while tipsy and with a model who's also tipsy. (makes up for a nice time.) am just glad the camera didn't break! bigtime horror if it did.


my cousin shiela was also there drinking that night. she felt guilty seeing us with all the mess and gracioulsy helped us with the setup. thanks, girl.


the photos in the two entries below are of kei as well. if you look at her eyes, you'll know just how much she'd been drinking.. more photos from this night in my gallery.
