Armed with cigarettes and innocence, you went down, down, down
My poem "Acceptable Documentation," originally published in Sycorax Journal #1, has been nominated for the 2019 Rhysling Award. I am really pleased.
I dreamed about what I don't quite want to characterize as a haunted museum, presided over by a false and baleful moon. It had a dry chalky light. I remember the sea rolling in over stone steps, but it feels too pat to say the moon had brought it. Awake, I'm just flatteningly tired; I am trying to do very little with my afternoon. It's raining outside in one of those soft grey wandering ways. There's still snow under the bushes. Couple of links.

3. I strongly suspect that I don't really want to watch all seven seasons of Once Upon a Time for the sake of this gifset, but it's surprisingly tempting.

The graffiti article was fascinating--thank you for the link.
And a false moon... that's a very ominous image.

Thank you! I would enjoy that. I am going through a spasm of feeling doomed to obscurity.

You're welcome. I'm really interested in Writing on the Wall.

It was an unsettling dream. I can't remember all of it, but all of the parts I remember were like broken things.
