It was proposed that it might be good to shorten the lessons that are read at Matins on Nativity because through their prolixity they quite often protect the divine service... from 10 o'clock until 4am which causes boredom and diminishes devotion

8 WAYS OF LYING TO A BLACKBIRD

Flying in a green light,
Traced in th✿ shadow
The beauty of inflecti･ﾟ★ns
Even the bawds of euphony
It was snowing
Was the eye of the blackbird.

In the narrow mouth of a dark cave there swirls a curtain of diaphanous water, past which dripping stone walls flicker. You smell ozone.
