    these shadows on the moon
    cast a face of yours in pale
    throwing stars numbered
    sharp, cutting and fallen
    will we remain the unforgiven?

    in one year or three
    we will see if you walk
    down south lane dreams
    see if knots truly bind or
    if unkindly ones give tell

    the ocean's scent carries
    even here

    This morning I was able to identify the buggy element of the commenting system and now things seem to have settled down on the site in that respect. Or, rather, comments and WordPress.com integration have been behaving as expected all day and I’ll count that as a win.

    finally, a step into tomorrow
    i shook my head, no no no
    we won't go back to those
    we won't go back

    for here is alone in the
    beat of the drum of the
    heart of the wood in the
    dreaming of the years
    now

    shadowfall & the
    autumn decay bursting
    forth underboot scenting
    my way home

    First off, I want to thank everyone for their apparently infinite patience as I try to debug the site since it went live just under a week ago. I appreciate everyone’s understanding and the helpful hands I’ve been getting from all across the globe.

    You are the real heroes here.

  • Towards the Within — If I Had a Heart

    As I described in my last post for this series, Towards the Within, I have decided to do a bit of discovery when it comes to music and report back what I found on that adventure. Briefly: I seeded a “radio station” on YouTube Music with several darkwave and experimental folk bands, set it at high discovery and high artist variety. I tried to give preference in my “seed” to non-English-speaking artists to drive the algorithm in that direction. And then, I set off a darkened path and into the labyrinthine woods I had just created.

    Did I find something interesting in the deep woods? Or did the monsters eat me?
