ash burns to ash, the
final offspring of decay
the way it smoothers
dry enough to suck
air to the root, into forever
in small rolling grains
drops in little strings pull
chemical baths from flesh, hold
transmission, prey
grass in waves clouds roll
there beyond eternity
from and to it all

Kids Rule
As the year winds down and reflection becomes the obvious mode of thought you sit around caught up in the expected things people get wrapped up in. Answers you gave to questions you were asked throughout the year somehow come back to haunt you. You imagine that next year all of this year's faults and failures will be rectified by the delusions of grandeur you assemble into New Year's resolutions. You try to remain interested in the work you're doing. You try to create excitment and a sense of hope so that maybe you'll feel something real during the holidays. It's an old dance and there's no getting away from it.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
