I could hear your words fall

[sovay]

My poem "Logos" is now online at Lone Star Stories, alongside horoscopes, ballads, fairy tales, and architecture by matociquala, anne_leckie, velourmane, Hal Duncan, and more. Not One of Us #40 can be ordered from The Genre Mall. I have seen print copies of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. October is a good month.

Tell me the rest of the lyrics/poem your subject header comes from?

I read it first as "I could hear your words fail"

there's a great poem somewhere in the space between words falling and words failing.

And yay for Lone Star Stories--off to read it!

Mission of Burma's "Falling."

It's from their first reunited album, ONoffON (2004). I believe it was written in 2002.

Okay; so write it!

Cool song.

I could see the future
Rushing up to meet me

Made me remember this song.

Poem: yes! but........ so many things to write, so little time. Still, yes.

Made me remember this song.

"Suddenly giant tentacles rise from the open sea / And with total precision they lasso me / It's a monstrous squid and he's saved my life / But I am too freaked out to be nice . . ."

That's awesome.

Yay!
