Bet Giyorgis Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon (bio) First, forgive the myth. A pink-skinned iteration less egregious against this monolith you want to say. Forgive yourself the error of wanting to reverse yourself, to say the body has no bearing on this rock as though this cross were carved from soap. Your man? He wants to wash not just your mouth out but your memory with it, your un-forgiveness unforgiveable— Andromeda. He has imagined your dragon a crocodile to kill, his sword and not some stone look to save you. But you— you mean to keep this landscape, the way the rock does not impose upon it.
