"The Vundesh"
loadmanage
if not to banish dreadbode
the old story shattering
catnip for the cold portal
liftgilver
sylvan waste & the dead gift
skunkface in the narrow screen
Venus high where the monk moults
dark like silt
shivering ev'ry built spark
candle out of hooded lodge
the skald side of loadmanage
"And, in fact, it's something that I truly can't describe to you. There just aren't words. It makes you different, though. It makes you experience the world differently than people without it. There's no special powers that come with it, no grand insights, but just a calm sense of well-being. All I can tell you is that you feel in your heart that you belong to the universe, that you know you have a purpose. That's it." --Jeffrey Ford, "The Scribble Mind," in: The Drowned Life (2008)
