Leaves blown backward in a vanished book, untelling winter
I did not sleep last night. This is due to headache, not inspiration, and is therefore unwelcome.

This is what is welcome: erzebet's newest Synthesis 2, which contains the text of my poem "The Gambler." Go; marvel. Sometimes I only dream my words look like that.

	She does great things with ink and coffee; you do great things with ink. The two of you should collaborate. Your work is not devoid of bone-rooted landscapes and leaflit dreams. I am racked with sympathy for your sleepless state. Only so long as it does not become contagious! I will not sleep better if your head explodes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That's a lovely piece. Well done, the both of you. Very sorry to hear about your sleeplessness. I had trouble sleeping as well last night. I hope your head feels better soon. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You should. It's such a perfect incarnation of what your own work is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You should. It's such a perfect incarnation of what your own work is. It's like any other skill—because I possess it, I assume that it is less valuable than the arts I do not have. I work on believing differently. Thank you; I do mean it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

You should certainly take some. The work strikes me as very much a collaboration, just as a setting of a poem as song lyrics doesn't minimise the poet's contribution, if that makes any sense.

Imagine what the piece would be like if the visual aspects were just the same, but the text were: "There are fairies at the bottom of our garden/They often like to dance on summer nights..." ;-)

	Headache sleeplessness is the worst kind of sleeplessness. May tonight bring you pain-free rest. And what a beautiful piece of art. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Headache sleeplessness is the worst kind of sleeplessness. May tonight bring you pain-free rest. Thank you. I hope likewise you are headache-free. Has the ear infection at least cleared? And what a beautiful piece of art. erzebet is extraordinary. I have one of her earlier pieces, The Fisher's Bride; it honors me to be part of her work. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I love this, the art and your poem, and I am so tempted to e-mail Erzebet about the cost, but I know I can't do it, not right now. Still ... I might have to ask. So glad your work gets to be presented this way; it's how your work feels, so textured and rich. (Reply to this)(Thread)
