i will wade out till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls Will i complete the mystery of my flesh I will rise After a thousand years lipping flowers And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

Dark Secret
Daria - Do you want to come in?
Tom - No! There are girls in there rubbing stuff on each other's cheeks and making animal noises. I got kind of scared.
Daria - That's just the opening rites of the Blushathon. At least you got out before the rhythmic chanting.
Tom - Oh, yeah, I think I saw that on the Discovery Channel. Why don't you get in the car?
