Silence will make us pay for our sleep

[sovay]

I slept for a few minutes on the bus to Plymouth. I didn't really dream, but I woke with the line in my head: "But death had its teeth in her wrist already." This is possibly from telling rushthatspeaks about the graffito of the wolf devouring the sun, which someone has been updating since we first saw it in early September. (I am waiting to see if by midwinter the sun will be gone entirely. It will become officially the best piece of graffiti, ancient or modern, I have ever seen if so.) Possibly it's for other reasons. Unless it turns out a poem, I'm not sure I appreciate it either way. I'm going to distract myself by reading about An-sky. I still haven't gotten used to the idea of wireless on a bus.

I usually associate teeth in wrists with vampires...maybe because on Dark Shadows, Barnabas Collins was only allowed to bite Willie Loomis on the wrist, never on the neck (he only got to bite women's necks!).

In any case, it seems like a good line for a poem.

Oh, I HOPE it turns into a poem!

I flashed to your earlier account of the graffito before I read that was where you were bound. Pulling her down. If you can find more of this, I would be much obliged.

Can I have a photo of the painting, or at least a set of walking directions where to find it? Cause I need to see this.

Sleep gave you a good line. Write from it.

The graffito needs to be time-lapse video.

I still haven't gotten used to the idea of wireless on a bus.

Best invention ever. Amtrak has promised it, but so far not obliged.

That's a lovely line, and I hope it leads to a poem.

This graffito sounds even more marvelous than I'd thought it. I'd love to see a photograph, if you get the chance some time.

I hope you had/are having/will have a wonderful time in Plymouth.

Wireless on a bus sounds nice--I keep hoping MetroNorth will get round to putting it on the trains.

Love the line - await the sequel!

I add my voice to the chorus of those who'd love to see a picture of this graffito.

It could be a good poem.
