is it close?
maybe close enough to touch?
it’s what you wanted for so long
it comes around
to where it all began
and it’s all down to the victor

Grey and blue sky. Smell of sulphur smoke. Brick and mortar, interlocked a hundred and seventy years ago with the grime on a workman’s hands, cease. Seams split and tear in a harsh crack and roar. Dust and rock and shards fling the three floor tenement asunder. Brick. Mortars. Memories. A fixed instant extended taut for the taking. Are you bigger than all this? Your hand crushes, squeezes. An attempt to grasp, to hold. If you’re big enough, keep it together. The shock, the force – withstand. A flash of heat. Bricks are tiny pebbles lodging in your palm, window casings slivers easily removed. If it were only so easy, gently ball hand into fist to force it all again into place. Back to how it used to be.

    hey! this is indeed my new blog.. basically.. the navigation is at the side and all the content is lumped together, but then categorized. at the top right are links to some other things me-related (my radio show, roleplaying and stuff) that aren’t in the general framework of the site. then there lots of links to various cool things. that’s about the shape of it. i’m still adding some things (slowly) but mostly everything’s functioning properly. if that made sense at all, then yayness. hope you’re doin excellently!
