My friend *Princess* has achieved a remarkable goal. She has broken her fetters, overcome all obstacles, and in her carriage of gilt and diamonds hath broken the bonds that fettered her soul. Now free to charm the firmament, her voice is free amongst the heavens.

I spent the night updating my poetry page. I've not got composition dates up yet, but there is finally a legend, and the new stuff is at the bottom.

VDA is again asking the tough questions.
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:14:31 -0500
From: "XQ"
Subject: Topic: Vampiric Traits

What vampiric traits do you exhibit (if any) and when did you start believing and wondering if there was "more" to you then everyone else?

To which I answer:

Er, I still haven't. Vampires are a) dead, b) story book characters.

Waking with blood in my belly and a smile on my face
and my thoughts in a far off and wonderful place
moved my soul off to search in the darkest direction
and through long midnight hours of deep introspection
surmised that I might be both dead and a story
just in order to rationalize a life that's so gory.
I live and I love and I move and I try
to keep out of the sun and to drink, or I die.
Thus I don't know if vampire is real or a metaphor
but that's not the answer I think you are looking for.

I'm struggling with my short story. So you'll have to look at my poetry for any interesting content. Nothing here worth thinking of.
I did spend the evening chatting with my web mistress emma about web design, but I doubt she'll comment on the fact at her site. Don't miss the picture of her with a pumpkin in her mouth, taken at my POD's place. I can't wait to meet her face to face.

I've redesigned my site!!! You had better like it. Or else.
It now has only one day on this page. Choose the month or week
for old stuff. I put up a poetry page as well. Next photos and links.
Then my old static site can be dismantled. I didn't make that site,
spazz did. Now I'm learning how to do it on my own, with the
help of Blogger.com

Cool... Cool... Cool... Cool... Cool... Cool... Cool... Lautreamont NYC Gothic Art Gallery. I've been looking for a good translation of Lautreamont, having only heard of it and read snippets. But this is a nice gallery.

Again, at the request of the redoubtable ShortGoth, a poem.

Dame Darkness Calls.
The Night holds my soul close-cradled and safe,
a mentor protecting her lonesome lost waif.
She hides teasing me, under rocks and in shadows,
Tempting, embracing me on midnight meadows.
She teaches secrets of hidden lost things;
Of nature, of dreams and darkness she sings -
Secrets and mysteries lost to you all
Who hide inside houses when dame darkness calls.
