A thousand and one, a thousand and one pleasant dreams

[sovay]

My flash "Lying-In" is now online at Scheherezade's Bequest, the online complement to Cabinet des Fées. All of its dreams have, at one point or another, been my own. The rest of the issue is pretty magnificent, too; I point especially to asakiyume's "Songs were washing up," Miranda Gaw's "Nimue Sings to the Tree," and Thomas Zimmerman's "Reading A Midsummer Night's Dream." There will be more post later this afternoon.

Ooh, that one by Miranda Gaw is beautiful.

In your one, I love The moon is a mouse's whisk at my pulse. and The heels of my hands cannot scrub my eyes to sleep.

both those... maybe especially the latter. No, both.

That was my favorite line as well.

Also, I hear sea glass singing.

It sings to itself when it thinks no one is listening--but you heard it.

Yes. Merlin and Nimue is one of the stories I care about, and her telling is extraordinary. I need to find more of her work.

No, both.

Thank you. When life hands you nightmares . . .

P.S.:

Also, I hear sea glass singing.

Amen.
