Flying to Tokyo tomorrow. Last visit was 17 years ago. Long time no see.

Went to a lecture on neuroscience and loneliness. Said touch is a fundamental human need whose absence leads to serious problems in this cyber age.

Contract signed! Can you believe my first book will be out in Italian & Chinese by @francescoverso.bsky.social's Future Fiction? I also changed the title from Flower of Limbo to Flowers Through Limbo.

Happy Children’s Day.

Dug out an old poem I wrote The Labyrinth of Minotaur Minotaur is hurt Minotaur is dying In an extinguishing night Gaze, and being gazed Close, closer To the black breath of the beast Drifting with moist sparks Closer, gingerly As if a kiss (1/3)
