But earlier

Though I live online

I have a real life as well - 

Which is which I ask?

In the short-term

Danger is hidden.
Crowds parade through other streets
And thoughts are elsewhere.

The vacuum inside

Is freed by the memory 

Of a falling leaf.

The story of light
Travels faster than rumour
And even saves time.

A Vision of the Street

Gentility fades

As the harsh life of comfort

Overtakes the day

Captured

In the reflection

Are both object and image.

But how are they linked?

Memory enhanced

With a littoral photo -

Of boats and houses...

Think of the future

But do not try and be there -

Today must be lived.

Summer creeps nearer

And so much is still frozen -

But we are waiting...

Leave now. Quickly. Do not look back, or you will be pulled back into the same, senseless movements. Writhing tentacles of hollow emotion still slither close. Closer than is safe.  Leave now quickly. But the inner tension remains. Leaving now would create an unbreachable chasm. I am breathless, and can only shut my eyes.

The Skipley Archive Treasure

The archive of the Skipley Library contains a modern (that is seventeenth century) translation of the  myth of Dnankremis of Orkav, This has significance in relation to the Reed Scroll which was amongst those rescued from the Middle Caves following an earthquake in the Uymattidic region. The researchers working on the text believe it is an early version of the Dnankremis myth.

Content interpretation or the asemic alternative?

Apart from the Velusian document that was recently re-interpreted by Eliacan et al (2017), a collection of lesser known scrolls was rescued from the Middle Caves following the recent seismic activity along the Uymattidan fault line. An initial project by the Department of Pre-llambryc Palaeography has focused on a set of three scrolls that share an unusual alphabet. Work on basic decyphering has reached an advanced stage and initial fragments have been submitted to the interpretation team. There remains however considerable doubt amongst a minority of researchers who posit the Asemic Hypothesis (Carcasonne and Djankuye, 2017). This will be explored in the next blog posting.
