I confess i got a big buzz today when Icarus_Falling dropped in
and posted in 'The Oxymoron Thread' - sanitary sewer.
But that was all and he hasn't been back,
his first post in eight days was one little blip, i wonder when we will see him again?
syzygyish, you're going to give me a complex, you know that?
I confess, my orbit has become perturbed as of late; once I orbited the Wrong Planet like a moon, always nearby, but never quite within reach, causing tides and the occasional volcanic eruption. Of late, a small series of celestial events has knocked me out of that close orbit, so these days I am much more like a comet; perhaps I am a comet that appears briefly every eight days or so; who knows...
Deep space holds wonders I had not dared to imagine. But the force of gravity serves to reel me in; you, the lurking ghost of Amanda Joy, others who I will leave unnamed... I feel the pull and am reminded; my memory is not what it once was.
In deep space, perceptions become muddled, difficult; there is no up or down, south or north by northwest; there is an infinite number of directions one might look towards, with only one's self as an immediate frame of reference; and thus it becomes an easy thing to orient one's self in the way that seems most natural, and tell yourself you're standing straight up like normal; but you're not, really, you're just telling yourself that. Deep space is very beautiful, alluring... But it is also a very cold place.
Good fortune,
- Icarus looks longingly at the southern star...
