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.

Lovely!

And thank you for pointing me towards the others, which also are splendid.

That was my favorite line as well.

Also, I hear sea glass singing.

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.

You're welcome. What are you going to send them?

"Songs were washing up" is yours, yes?

Well done!

I like the image--it captures something about the way songs behave.

What are you going to send them?

Them being the authors, or Cabinet des Fées?

I'm not sure I've got anything that would really fit C. des F., really.

Thank you :-) (oops, and I should say yes! that is my one)

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

Lovely, Sonya. And yes, as someone said already, the "moon is a mouse's whisk" made me pause, as did so many other lines. I tell you, each of your lines is a full painting.

I tell you, each of your lines is a full painting.

Thank you! I am very glad they draw themselves for you.

Most welcome!
