egypturnashA couple of people asked what that last commentless entry is about, with its air of evasion and little smiling smirky obscure quotes and its little appended PS and it's now very locked nature.
Simple and succinct is how I draw and how I normally try to speak and write. But my reflexes and instincts these days say that nothing truly, truly, truly important and powerful should be said simple, succinct, and direct. Not the first time, at least. Clarification and boiling down after the enshrouding obliquity, yes.
But it was so itchy in my head with potency that words and concepts and hints from it had to come out and dance and play and obscure in public, cloak and mask with reference only I would absolutely get and maybe the one who saw the Leviathan it heralded would get, to the deep one and to things and shards afar and borrowed. Even that one getting half or any of the outside references wasn't the point; making them and playing with them and leaping across three and never showing all my work was. Me dancing words because feet were cold, because loading attempts at crystal prose into supersaturation is exercise worth taking, because metaphors used for some duties need breaking and re-forging before ever carrying weight again. Significance? Metaphor's true freight? I'm sorry, no guided tours tonight. If you, dear reader, care for me even halfway, please keep speculations and rumors of Leviathan unsaid, ask not and receive no blunt evasions. Fnord.
Or just call it an exercise in automatic writing and sowing confusion. Enough was. Enough of this too.
No undo.
