the heat, the rain, the car alarm

Up to about 25K/34K on current project, which is a good thing, as I've just signed up for something else. I must be mad. Mad mad mad maddity mad mad. (And of course I now want to work on my own stuff, fanfic, etc. It always happens. I can just feel the wrong sort of inspiration blossoming)

How irritating. The sudden burst of rain outside (which I was very pleased about) seems to have set off a car alarm, which is now going wee wee wee all the way home. Hopefully it'll turn itself off soon.

( notes on recent Bleach chapter 236, or It Rather Lowered The Chance Of There Being A Next Week To Speak Of )

We have more players on touchedthesky. Excellent.

There is a motionless tree

There is a motionless tree
there is another that moves forward
a river of trees
pounds at my chest
The green swell
of good fortune

You are dressed in red
you are
the seal of the burning year
carnal firebrand
star of fruit
I eat the sun in you

The hour rests
on a chasm of clarities

The birds are a handful of shadows
their beaks build the night
their wings sustain the day

Rooted at the light's peak
between stability and vertigo
you are
the diaphanous balance.

-- Octavio Paz
