Sinister: words found in the vacuum cleaner

[gogron]

Hello

I haven't posted in a bit. Good to see Oranges and Sunset in the
in-tray!

Christmas I spent ill in bed.
New Year I was on my own. I wrote some lines in the first fifteen
minutes of 2001:

Opening the black lid,
Keys for E minor
(and added chromatics).
A dying note sustained into midnight,
*exactly* midnight:-
Walking upstairs to the new silence and it's 00:01 on 01/01/01
I open the window:-
no cars on the snowy road,
just glassy drips of melt-water;
cathedral bells from the valley;
the thunder of distant fireworks:
Fireworks glowing green, pink, blue
across a low-soft sky,
or bursting into glitter...
all the people setting these things off along the north-western horizon
behind
a dark embrace of woodland and forest
hugs deer and sleeping birds
and the watchful owls' eyes
in the 21st century.

I have entered (cheated in) the adverb competition -ly.
I just purchased some obscure music to give me feelings of credibility.
'Sexy World' by the Yummy Fur. It's got a Japanese woman on the cover
and a Korg MS10 on the back. I always wanted a Korg MS10.
I also bought a single by Bridget Storm cos it's got a sketch by the
Futurist architect Constant on the cover.
As for the music, well... it'll probably grow on me. I'm a sucker for
synthesizers.

Erm.. right ok...
Is that it?
Ok
'cut!'
it's a wrap...

Gordon
