~part one: poetry in moe.tion
she turned her tender eyes to me...
She tries to figure out where she is and what has happened. Her clothes are torn; she's bruised and disheveled.
The Ewok jumps up and grabs a four-foot-long spear, which he holds in a defensive position. Leia watches him as he circles warily and begins poking her with the sharp point of the spear.
LEIA
Cut it out!
She stands up, and the Ewok quickly backs away.
LEIA
I'm not gonna hurt you.

i can smell the chemicals...
~ part two: sledgehammer
you're a jittery little thing, aren't you?
"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!"
I - I don't believe it!
There she goes again!
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions...

~ part three: sheltering under the bodhi tree (web poem)
do note: my web poems only work if you click on every link, okay?
get in the right frame of mindset first... now begin:
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away
Away from me
It's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy
Or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It is
not easy
to be me

~ part four: the crown of light (trivia)
"Look, it's a hat. It's not gonna hurt you." -L.
"I pity the fool... who doesn't enjoy a good pituitary versus pineal debate - especially one carried out with a tossed salad of unscutinized, questionably-sourced web driven gonna-love-em documents!" -ms.
"We should note that the monk's tonsure (popular during medieval times) was really in reference to the crown chakra and the bindu point above the head by which one is connected to the 'godhead', and was an alternative to trepanning (opening) of the skull), as practised by the Merovingians and also in ancient times and by many different cultures."
(((alternatives!))) Lol.

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
"The crown centre is located at the top of the head corresponding to the position of the pineal gland. It is the seat of the highest frequency of energy vibration in ourselves. This vibration is often depicted by artists as a halo surrounding the head of highly evolved or holy people.
Statues or pictures of the Buddha usually show the crown chakra at the top of the head.
The tonsure practised by monks had is origin in the functioning of this centre."

my "caption this" entry: 'dude, put down the creepy lantern and walk away slowly...'
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
She gives a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna' make everything alright
"What's with the hat? I suppose some might say since the hat is off, the crown chakra is symbolically open. However, knowing the church, the hat has probably been passed and the money has just been delivered."
This fine and illuminating Tarot board thread wins the Morgane's Favorite Words honorable mention award for its creative use of the word Acolyte.
Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
so... how does your spiritual community acknowledge
that patch of land on the crown of your noggin?
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes the hair is from a little boy
And the cross from someone she has not met
Not yet
hats on? hats off?
Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
"The man's a pothead. He's high on smack, or speedballs, or something..."
Go on...
Indulge. Explore around a little.
I won't tell anybody.
She don't know no lovers
None that I've ever seen
And to her that ain't nothing
But to me it means, means everything
the beautiful ones...

70 EXT FOREST CLEARING - LEIA'S CRASH SITE 70
Han, Luke, Chewie, and the two droids are spread out as they move through the heavy foliage near the clearing where we last saw Leia. Luke finds Leia's helmet, picks it up with an expression of concern.
HAN (OS)
Luke! Luke!
Luke runs with the helmet to where Han has found the charred wreckage of a speeder bike in the grass.
THREEPIO
Oh, Master Luke.
~
yoo-fuh-miz-uh m
You're goin' underneath the ground tonite.
~ part six: don't wanna leave u twisting in the wind...
THREEPIO
Artoo, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
It's a very long dro-o-op!!
Artoo has cut through and the entire group tumbles out of the net, crashing to the ground. As they regain their senses and sit up, they realize they are surrounded by dozens of Ewoks, each brandishing a long spear.
HAN
Wha--? Hey! Point that thing someplace else.
Han pushes the spear wielded by TEEBO out of his face and a second Ewok warrior comes up to argue with Teebo. The spear returns to Han's face. He grabs it angrily and starts to go for his laser pistol.
HAN
Hey!
LUKE
Han, don't. It'll be all right.
The Ewoks swarm through them and confiscate their weapons. Luke lets them take his lightsaber. Chewie growls at the furry critters.
LUKE
Chewie, give 'em your crossbow.
Artoo and Threepio are just untangling themselves. Threepio gets free of the net and sits up, rattled.
THREEPIO
Oh, my head. Oh, my goodness!
When the Ewoks see Threepio, they let out a gasp and chatter among themselves. Threepio speaks to them in their native tongue. The Ewok nearest him drops his spear and prostrates himself before the droid. In a moment, all the Ewoks have followed suit. Chewie lets out a puzzled bark. Han and Luke regard the bowed creatures in wonder. The Ewoks begin to chant at Threepio.
LUKE
Do you understand anything they're saying?
THREEPIO
Oh, yes, Master Luke! Remember that I am fluent in over Six Million forms of communication.
HAN
What are you telling them?
THREEPIO
Hello, I think... I could be mistaken.
They're using a very primitive dialect. But I do believe they think I am some sort of god.
Chewbacca and Artoo think that's very funny. Han and Luke exchange "what next?" looks.
HAN
Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?
THREEPIO
I beg your pardon, General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper.
HAN
Proper?!
THREEPIO
It's against my programming to impersonate a deity.
Han moves toward Threepio threateningly.
HAN
Why, you--
Several Ewoks' spears are thrust in Han's face at the affront to their god. The Ewoks move in to protect their god and Han is surrounded by a menacing circle of spears, all aimed at him. He holds up his hands placatingly.
HAN
My mistake. He's an old friend of mine.
72 EXT FOREST - SERIES OF SHOTS 72
A procession of Ewoks winds through the ever-darkening forest.
Their prisoners - Han, Luke, Chewie, and Artoo - are tied to long poles and wrapped in vines, cocoonlike.
Each pole is carried on the shoulders of several Ewoks. Behind the captives, Threepio is carried on a litter, like a king, by the remaining creatures.
73 EXT FOREST WALKWAY - MOON FOREST 73
The procession moves along a shaky, narrow, wooden walkway, high in the giant trees. It stops at the end of the walkway, which drops off into nothingness. On the other side of the abyss is a village of mud huts and rickety walkways, attached to the giant trees. The lead Ewok takes hold of a long vine and swings across to the village square; the other Ewoks follow suit.
74 EXT EWOK VILLAGE SQUARE 74
The procession winds its way into the village square. Mother Ewoks gather their babies up and scurry into their huts at the sight of the newcomers. The group stops before the largest hut.
Han, Luke, Chewie, and Artoo are still bound to their poles. Han is placed on a spit above what looks like a barbecue pit and the others are leaned against a tree nearby. Threepio's litter/throne is gently placed near the pit. He watches with rapt fascination. Han, Luke, and Chewie are less than fascinated.
HAN
I have a really bad feeling about this.
Chewie growls his concern.
Suddenly all activity stops as LOGRAY, the tribal Medicine Man, comes out of the big hut. He examines the captives carefully, goes to join Threepio, whose throne has been placed on an elevated platform. A larger, gray-haired Ewok, CHIEF CHIRPA, is examining Luke's lightsaber with great curiosity.
Logray speaks to Threepio and the assemblage of fuzzy Ewoks, pointing to the prisoners tied to the stakes. The Ewoks begin filling the pit under Han with firewood.
HAN
What did he say?
THREEPIO
I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor.
The drums start beating, and all the furry heads turn to the large hut. Leia emerges, wearing an animal-skin dress. She sees what's happening at the same moment the prisoners see her.
HAN and LUKE
Leia!
As she moves toward them, the Ewoks block her way with raised spears.
LEIA
Oh!
THREEPIO
Your Royal Highness.
Artoo and Chewie chime in with their welcome. Leia looks at the assembled Ewoks and sighs.
LEIA
But these are my friends.
