comfort and joy (another go at this)

beside a garage the magnolia grew in grace, still-dance of slender curves, smooth grey stem arcs, loose laced, spacing light. Buds slept - tight...

Pick of the Month

woods, late

walk in the company of streams through chill evening, day's ash, grey shadows clot into understanding night a deer starts awake, hastens to hide life...

Be Leave

I'm tired as a bee buzzing against glass for cannot pass into sleep. The deep beyond thought. Unreached though mind's wings batter and long hours,...
Cherry

gloaming

Charcoal-soft dark calls, silk wings oil-easy under cinder blue. Llightless, sky heavies falls to tall birch tops' black lace twigs, pillared on slim...

"In the middle of the box was a circular glass lens, a black pupil surrounded by a luminous red iris." made me think of Sauron, not Hal :0) Glad the narrator made it out! And that Fritz was not Sauron, that he gave all his former students choice...

I am looking forward to the crescendo! It will be sad if there are to be no more outings for Perfidia, she is a BRILLIANT character - don't suppose she could set up a detective agency of her own, with Chaos? Would love to see her outwitting some...
