New Moon

There are ashes in a jar
They are not ashes but my days
My hours and minutes
My thoughts bitten off
My self deferred
They are not ashes but my moments and my years


Blow gently
Gently, gently like a bubble
Sink quietly and unremarkably into the deep
Earth, air, fire and water together combine
This is a destruction of a destruction


These are clouds in the sky
Blowing softly over the God's expanse
They are not clouds, but they are my dreams
My wishes and desires
My hope floating softly
A veil across the dark
These are not clouds but my vision and my self


Float gently
Gently, gently like a petal
Swathe me with your unbreakable silken strands
Earth, air, fire and water together combine
This is a replacement of a replacement

Studying with Dolls

In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.

Two older entries I edited tonight re-posted today's date. However, the original month/year is still visible in the permalink. Looking back on the past often makes me cringe, especially when I remember my own behavior. However, re-reading these entries makes me feel the past is accessible in the sense that I am still holding on to many of the same dreams and desires. This week, for comps, I read two early gothics, James Hogg's The Private Memoir and Confessions of a Justified Sinner , and Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly; or, a Sleep-Walker , which were very much along the lines of the books that absorbed me from 2005-2007, most of which I read on my Treo from Project Gutenberg. Looking back upon my interests and desires of that time sustains me now, when I have to tap into my reserves every day to keep reading.
