fragments from a chat I just wrapped with Barbara Holmes,Twister fromt he old WC...she's so good at drawing me out...I cut and pasted a few of my comments here, just because they were so pure. They may not be obvious, as I am not including all of what I said or any of her comments or questions, but that's the fun part. I am like a well-polished mirror with an unique curvature. I collect the light that others give off and reflect it, focused, onto the page. I am a machine without motive force. I am a golem, of sorts, designed to champion another, but almost helpless when I must fend only for myself...not because I lack the ability, I lack the motive...I am this way by my own design, because I trusted that I would find someone worthy of this quickened tool...I use motive in both senses...as purpose and as motive force.
....
Find me someone worthy of the golem that I may become phoenix? (I have written a few poems over the years with the desription of golem and phoenix for me, I am only of late beginning to understand how profoundly that describes me.)...I am, alas, indestructible. But, as with Cronus, quite capable of wound and pain.
....
I have a universe to conquer by midnight...or soon therafter...
And people wonder why I don't drink. Obviously, I don't need to...I'm screwed up enough as I am.
