The Fleetingest is now sold out. Thank you all for the tasty support. I recommend you go and pick up some of the other Red Ceilings Press books: they're fab. If you're still hungry then there's more appetifs over at Infinite Editions too.

Here's something that didn't make the cut, as they say:

emeth

The silhouette falls across the entrance,

rapt Cathy calls out a warning --

this one is a painter but moves

more like an errant detective,

scrapes his mud across the carpet.

Later, Cathy will make

a golem of the

thing.

Tracing the steps back, they end

just beneath the lintel – a star

is framed below the right angle.

It's here our man abides

with a fixed stare,

awaiting the cue to

begin the whole process

again.

Cathy's eyes are sensitive.

Her good deeds unreferenced.

Her fear of the coop ecstatic.
