A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OK, since no one ran away screaming at the first one....

__________________________

Too many time you wander,
searching the night for the right --
the right boy, the right plan, the right excuse.

And sometimes you find all three.
Lucky you.

But I hear you searching in the night,
sounding your cry, shrill and plaintive,
over the clamor of the crowd,
and I am appalled by your naivte and boldness.

But I don't want to shelter you.
I want to watch you seek, and crash and burn, and rise.

Because then I don't have to.

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

OK, there's something - damn. I can't analyse; I refuse.

But I can try this, Erin, and please tell me sod off and shut the fuck up if not?

But I don't want to shelter you.

and rise.

Because that way?

I don't have to.

(There's just something - something in the pauses, or the breaths.)

No, no. No sodding off, here.

I pondered (god, how pretentious!) the crash and burn line, too.

I do like the irony in dropping, the "rise" line - that's good.

Hrm.

If I only had a brain...

A friendly person over at NaNoWrimo gave me this link:

Deb, I did a review, but it wouldn't let me say what should be purchased with it. Right now it recommends Sunshine, which isn't really a bad choice, though not thematic or even similar in style. I did like them both. Fewer narrative problems in Weaver, though.

Who? moi??

Good reference, Betsy. I only read the link page, but it seemed very good to me.

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

Deena, I may have missed a step. Your review is up but mine isn't--and it didn't offer me the options of books to choose with Weaver. Did I do something wrong?

Should I go back to Amazon and try to post it again, you think?

Beverly, if mine is up, that's new. They take a bit to review it, and they didn't offer me the opportunity of suggesting something to go with it either, so everything's probably fine.

Okay, I may have stuck my foot in it, because I posted it again. Oh well. We'll see what transpires.
