You live in all the constellations

My poem "Muse" has won second place in the 2008 Dwarf Stars Award.

First place, Greg Beatty's "Place Mat by Moebius." It is a haiku and terrific.

Third place, Ann K. Schwader's "Dancing to Van Gogh."

Go and congratulate them! My year sucks a little less!

Phew. On reading "Muse," once again I've fallen in love.

This is what I meant when I said I needed you to write my boy muse. Don't worry, I know what you answered was true, that I need to do it myself. But first, first, I need to collect your poems and read them. Sonya, it's that you think of things like "storm-static" and the "dust of masks," and "slant" things as you do.

Sighs from a fan.

And smiling congratulations to you.

Edit: And the crooked halo, and oh my god how that last line is true, "marked all with your name." Okay, I've gone back and read it three more times. I admit. I'm addicted.

Oh, well done! And please congratulate your muse for me.

Sonya, if LJ does go under, how will I know what you're doing?

Could you take my e-mail just in case? Will you come up with a web site where we can find your writings and know you're life is going on and you are well?

I'm getting worried with all this talk.

I just read "The Gambler" and "Muse" to my sister. She said she could only sit open-mouthed. That you are brilliant. That if she met you or heard you, she wouldn't be able to say a word, but just sit in awe.

I always feel the same, but I assured her that you are open and friendly and generous as can be. Thank you for that.
