Today it may sting for the short term, tomorrow will still
But leave me salted and preserved in thoughts of you
Thoughts of ... us
Safeguard me here for the day of your awakened hunger
Rather this than be chewed up and spat out by another
Who only seeks the short term satisfaction of my body
My heart, soul, mind … all that I am or will be, is yours
So let the salt drain away the nourishing water of you for now
Ready to be re-hydrated by your love in days or years to come
I will happily sit and wait until that day you reopen my heart
Unless consumed by her boundless fire, better I go to waste

Transvestite thailand
When the term “transvestite Thailand” surfaces in travel blogs or online searches, it often conjures a narrow set of images: glamorous cabaret performers in sequined gowns or street-side scenes in certain nightlife districts. But to reduce Thailand’s profound and complex relationship with gender expression to a mere tourist spectacle is to miss the entire, beautiful story. Thailand is home to one of the world’s most visible, historic, and culturally integrated transgender and cross-dressing communities. This isn’t a modern import; it’s woven into the very fabric of Thai society, offering a powerful lesson in acceptance, identity, and the artistry of being oneself.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
