1) finally done with my yuletide assignment. that took way too long, but i have been busy busy busy. i really want to write at least 14K in treats (the goal is to always break last year's yuletide wordcount), but, i'm on holiday all this week abroad. maybe... maybe that will help instead of hinder ?? ??? HOW DID I WRITE THIS MUCH LAST YEAR. oh, that's right, being on holiday while not doing anything or going anywhere...
2) holiday with the family! excite, and yet also so much travel. so. much. travel.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
