for W.B.Sinclair (WhiteDwarf Books)

Murphy blinkered by seven veils of his own selecting, the chair of his platonic cabinet a wheel not yet known to the Academy, rocks as does the sinking crescent moon as we promenade along a line of longitude against which is surveyed a rectilinear beach traversing the known globe with our western eyes.

Some son of Murphy, staring into the blue to first detect hilal, stricken by a headache so seizing his forehead he spends the next month in near total darkness thus being denied (or so she told him) a fine view of a rare and total eclipse, unexpected, unpredicted, like a brief death.

acute cité cesse cécité Cécile Celia ciel Stella scellé Cecilia cilia cils astral

points, orbs yet no circumference, a radius far too vast, radiant

[ <<La Muse malade>> et "Solaris" de Stani Lem ]

liens obscurs

green stars,
her emerald locks, lifted by the stream,
coiffure verdâtre

a bottle uncorked and that cork happily lost underfoot
