into the leather purse of their

wings, the richest body. "

Hi Susannah

Well - I find reading old work can be a very effective way to retool my brain for creating more. There are certainly days when I want to write - but the power doesn't seem to be there. Reading old work can push start the mental car..... a few loud bangs, a shudder or two, lots of blue smoke and then I'm away....

I love your bats. This bit captures them perfectly:

"then, when feasting is done,

slip upside down, tarnished penny,

into the leather purse of their

wings, the richest body. "

Best Wishes - Dave :)
