questions live mute in the natural
songs of slow dripping water
murmuring echoes in corridors
speak to the percussive heart
soft rhythmic muffled arrivals
pigeon wings parchment secrets
chanted from ancient rubrics
catacombs scrubbed by winds
wandering aimlessly plucking
spider webs whisking insect wings
into dusty ageless corners lit by
guttering candles wearing grey
oily plumes offered carelessly
to shattered icons strewn as rubble
speak not in the silence of dreams
dream not in the canticles of quests
rough fibres calloused palms
felt sandals coarse woven wool
questions are time’s diversion
flesh its soft and deceptive tablet
The answer is always here and now

Saving Your Favourites

"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
