i got out to a friend’s birthday gathering last night. I was walking a little further, a little longer, a little straighter. I had not gone all out, but I had some of my favorite clothes and silver, and was among some of my favorite people. I felt adorned. I had utterly forgotten how much I like to make an …

In dreams…
My good friend Thudthwacker had a few friends over to celebrate his birthday.On the way there, he tells me that his seven year old daughter had a… disturbing dream about it the previous night.Not scary, exactly, but… notable. There were three guests at the dream party. The one he took special note of was a dark haired man, with a …
Poetry meme.
I’m usually meme- allergic, but this is worth it.Contracted from ravenbait When you see this, post your favourite poem. This Living Hand This living hand, now warm and capable Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold And in the icy silence of the tomb, So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights That thou wouldst wish thine …

Bad Medicine
I was aware that my new meds were making me erratic. I was not really aware of how erratic. Recently I posted some savage, nasty things about a man who has always treated me with kindness, respect and friendship. Regardless of any disagreements we may have had, he never wavered in being supportive and treating me like a friend. The …

New Years
New Years is special for me- it is my Mother’s time, spiritually (And how often are you going to hear me use that word in public?) A time for rebirth. That’s exactly what last night was. I terrorized a lovely stranger, watching her shake and stammer and ask the dark for her Daddy. Delightful.Even more so to tell her that …
