My poem "The Chymical Marriage" is now online at Strange Horizons. Its inspirations were Elsa Lanchester, Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesiger, and teenybuffalo; it was one of the seven poems I wrote in April. From some angles, it's science fiction.

Excellent!

I think I remember reading that one on LJ. I like it as much on rereading.

There are times when I think everything is, from some angle, science fiction. Perhaps it's only when I'm not sleeping enough, but there are definitely those times.

I'm very glad.

Oh, lovely.

I just saw a showing of the silent classic "Wings" with live organist, so it's nice to read that today!

Lovely. I feel like I just ate celluloid and all my insides are made of black and white flasks and silver solutions and wild eyes are staring out of holes in my skin, projecting what WAS life as IS life.

Your words can mess a person up :)

Okay, that should be a poem all of its own.

I'm honored!
