You don't have to go home in a straight line

My poem "Atque in Perpetuum" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It's not based on the dream I had a year ago about Catullus' brother, but it is addressed to him. It's another ghost poem. At a very bad point on Thursday, I almost posted, "I need to learn how to stop being a dybbuk." I'm wondering if this is how I'm doing it.

It is clear fall outside, cloudless. I fell asleep sometime after sunrise, having watched half a dozen episodes of Gravity Falls (2012) with [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and talked until the light came in with leaf-shadows through the windows. I woke up with a cat on my feet. The last few days have been very good.

L'shanah tovah, all.

L'shana tova u'bracha.

Congratulations on another well deserved poem placement!

Appropos of At a very bad point on Thursday, I almost posted, "I need to learn how to stop being a dybbuk." I'm wondering if this is how I'm doing it.

I dreamed on Rosh Ha'shannah that I was being asked to host the annotated TV anthology series of The Dybbuk. I was attempting to decline on the basis on not having the appropriate piano, but they provided me with a baby grand, a blue spotlight and a cave, so I was then in a position to accept. Dream life is weirder than real life, if only by a fractional margin.

It occurs to me now that I ought to have called and asked if you wanted to co-host.
