draft

I am keen on the sky
under the moon,
leaving room for
alacram dreams
and sinuous tales.

The static there,
turns and turns,




more figured out later

I tried looking up "alacram" in the Concise Oxford Dictionary, but it wasn't there.

And my search in Google was equally fruitless.

What, pray, does "alacram" mean?

I still remember your phrase, "rhizomatically entwined", but have not yet found the opportunity to use it.

But.....some day.....!!!

Hi Christopher,

Indeed you will not find alacram. It came from no place but my head, as I was trying to fall asleep. I, too, looked for it when I got up, but found it nowhere.

It is related to alacricity, which means cheerful eagerness, or speed, quickness. I'm not sure if it fits, but the last two lines, on my way to sleep, had a sound I liked.
