"Skinny-Dipping After Work at the Drive-In"
Debra Nystrom

No moon; the pickup's headlights stare
across the river from the bluff above, where
fields of sunflower heads turn away,
waiting for dawn. It's cold, yelps Amy,
and Brian calls where are you
but she screams no, get away, so
he and Tommy laugh, dive under for
her legs again. In March I skated over
this same place, past Farm Island, leaving
my track lines in the snow hard to imagine
now, and even then the water must
have moved like this beneath me, erasing
bodies' outlines, as if everything touched
everything all the time.

Hi all, I probably should have introduced myself before my first couple of postings yesterday, so forgive me if I do it now, a day too late. I joined this community (and also "all macros" and "dog macros") yesterday. I finally figured out how to use the lolbuilder on the cheezburger.com site a little under two months ago, and since then I have found adding silly captions to pictures more than a little addictive. ;) And it's great to have found somewhere other than my own journal to post some of the pictures I've captioned.

I'm editing this a couple of hours later, because I noticed on my friends page that this post apparently has a lot of empty space at the end.  I don't know where that came from, and when I tried to get rid of it, the bottom came off of the picture I'd embedded. So rather than lose the caption, I left the empty space. 

This problem of losing the bottom off of pictures I embed on livejournal is something that only started happening to me a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that, I'd had no problems with embedding. 

Does anyone here have any ideas as to why this is happening? And what - if anything - I can do about it? (On the off-chance it's relevant, I have a basic account and - being a generally un-techy type with no real knowledge of html - I've been using the "rich text" option when posting.) 

I'd be very grateful for any help or suggestions. Many thanks, and please accept my apologies for all of the empty extra space underneath the pic I embedded here today.

"Rift"
Adrienne Rich

I have in my head some images of you:
your face turned awkwardly from the kiss of greeting
the sparkle of your eyes in the dark car, driving
your beautiful fingers reaching for
a glass of water.
                          Also your lip curling
at what displeases you, the sign of closure,
the fending-off, the clouding-over.
                              
                   Politics.
you'd say, is an unworthy name
for what we're after.

                              What we're after
is not that clear to me, if politics
is an unworthy name.

When language fails us, when we fail each other
there is no exorcism. The hurt continues. Yes, your scorn
turns up the jet of my anger. Yes, I find you
overweening, obsessed, and even in your genius
narrow-minded - I could list much more -
and absolute loyalty was never in my line
once having left it in my father's house -
but as I go on sorting images of you
my hand trembles, and I try
to train it not to tremble.
