she/her. Poet, Tarot reader. I love history, fairy tales, mythology, folklore, overgrown gardens, foxes, birds, and meditative dance. Introvert neurodivergent. Converses with cats. Lately awash in rage and grief.
I used to listen to this song over and over, so dark and romantic. Thank you for reminding me of it. "Like the leaf clings to the tree..."

It's on Empty Sky, really early album. It was played over the end credits of a movie I watched recently ('The Favorite') which brought it back to my mind.

"Daniel" and "Come Down in Time."
For obscurity, add "Skyline Pigeon"!

1942 version of Cat People. Night of the Hunter 1955. The whole atmosphere, lighting, sound, (the Cat People pool scene OMG), dark fairy tales. (I already loved the darker 'horror' Grimm's fairy tales.) I'm not that old but grew up watching 'old' movies! Later, ALIEN started me on horror sci-fi.

I prefer the version on the left. This is a lovely poem!

just realizing coffee beans will be worth much more than that.... so, maybe six or seven coffee beans, or teaspoon of real cinnamon.

Half-crazy lady in a flour-sack dress who gets by because she can sew. Talks to birds, who predict the weather, and will read your Tarot cards in exchange for a nickel or a handful of coffee beans.
