In Between Worlds

The full moon is a bright pearl in the sky,
illuminating
little children while
they carry
lanterns that
light the way.

Today marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. It's also the 15th day: full moon.

And the last chance to get Xiao Xiao in print.

Also Valentine's Day and Lupercalia!

I am sick. For two days. The haze is not a good friend to my sinuses. Spent the entire Sunday alternately sneezing and trying to stem a profusion of mucus. Monday saw me trying to breathe with my head stuck in cotton wool. Tuesday was dealing with the crap Monday had left before it disappeared.

Going back to work tomorrow. Already I have a backlog, so it seems.

Plus-point: Midautumn Festival.

Plus-point: My alter ego's page is up on Goodreads.

Plus-point: Free fiction is also up on Goodreads.

I also wrote some melodramatic poetry, inspired partly by 9/11. No. I am still affected by what happened 10 years ago (gosh, I was only 26!).
