written in the water

written in the water

Click on the title to get the file into a player so you can hear it. I wrote this 4 years ago standing in the rain waiting for a bus.

Oh your words
are written in the water
but your deeds
are set in stone
but even stone
can be worn by water
when ten thousand
years have flown

Speak your truth
and it will be a rock to you
speak your lies
the rock is gonna come a-flood
Do you suppose
in that fearful landscape
the rock can tell
the water from blood

Shallow little me

so…. one of my most contemptible obsessions is celebrity gossip.  Except I like celebrity gossip about Jewel Staite and Liev Schreiber, not Prince George and Kim Kardashian.  So, in my normal way, I looked up Derek Jacobi when I started watching Cadfael    and learned to my delight and amusement that Ian McKellen had a tremendous crush on him back when they were pupkins coming up in the theater. So we’re talking around the time I was born.  NOW they are in an ITV program together about an aging gay couple; show’s called Vicious  which of course I am looking forward to now like a slavering fool.  Bring it on, Netflix, I can hardly wait for the moment when Ian gets his wish and plants one on Derek.  Happy sigh.

Shop is being shown again today for the second time to one set of buyers and I am still getting strong interest.

I got a reasonable night’s sleep.

Chipper blogs… Kid says something funny.

Speaking of Chipper, she made my day, my week, my month when, having learned that Paul and his girlfriend, and two married couples I know well, plus his mother, were all going to Red Deer for his b-day, she offered me the use of the spare bedroom during that time.  Much restored in spirit, I thanked her, but I suspect if Paul had wanted me to be there he would have invited me… snarf.

I have reinstalled Skype on the Mac if anybody wants to talk to me.  I am u_must_b_joking (same as LiveJournal).

Hope everybody has a lovely day!
