Sail, that's gorgeous.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gorgeous is the word.

Thank you! It's amazing what a really good beer and good companionship can inspire you to.

Bridges, Burning
There is a far side, and a near side. That's the way it works, with bridges.
the crash, a disturbing rumble of spectral lumber, a plank falling free, smoke rising toward heaven
One link severed, one friend gone, one bit of history signalling the clouds to rain.
another plank, another step gone, the reek of history, footsteps, no way home, invisible flame
Gaps showing, far side and near, flames catching, another plank, the river of time red below, no safe place to set my feet.
Unable to cross the burned bridge, unable to turn away, I will stand here forever.

Well, damn. I never come here, because I don't really write non-fic fic, so I hope you'll forgive the intrusion. In light of the beautiful poetry (Sail, Deb, damn, lovely) this seems doubly embarassing, but I was wondering whether I could ask your indulgence to have a wee look at a first chapter of a novel? It's not exactly lyrical, but I think it might work. Possibly. But I'd be grateful to know what you think. If that's okay.

What kind of story is it, Fay?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, it's a sort of Anita Blake meets Bridget Jones sort of story. I think. Probably. Something lightweight with a Buffyish sensibility, but set in London.

Oooh, that sounds like it could be fun, Fay. You can send it my way if you want. Profile addy is good.
