Where are you, my mother-o, longing to go?

My poem "The Same Fur Coat" is now online at Strange Horizons. It was written earlier this year on the occasion of [personal profile] selkie's birthday. The issue in which it's embedded fits together beautifully.

Today is the occasion of my brother's birthday, who is celebrating with his immediate family, I hope most enjoyably.

The construction returned much earlier than we had thought was legal, vibrating the bed and the walls with an ear-battering bass noise like being trapped inside a titanic drill. I believe the rain drove it off eventually, but no one slept until then, including Hestia. I dreamed of writing about Alan Turing at Bletchley, which I resent not having to hand when I woke up.

One of the most beautiful and cruel categories of dream is when one makes or acquires something nifty only to not have it when awake.
