Xiu Xiu Frontman Hearts Haikus

Jamie Stewart's eccentric mind never rests.

Head to WomenAsLovers.com & hit 'refresh'.

Here's a sampling of our favorites:

*in a small black dress
i want to see your strutting
glamour becomes you*

*a hot and dry death
let us both regret xiu xiu
withered in the sun*

*PHILADELPHIA!
there are so many sparrows
be turned on by them*

*which do you need more?
the arrow, the cue, the club
or your fountain pen?*
