what must be must

So I lose my internet connection for a few days and...

...Nabari no Ou ends? OMG. WEEPING. Wait, no spoilers, I've just downloaded the raw and I have no idea what's going on anymore b-but. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ENDED. HUU.


Footnote
In the warm glow of paper lanterns
you possess the radiance of fireflies
and starlight. I tongue your name to send it
to the heavens, breathe its truth into the air
to seal it as a prayer. Your eyes are closed,
lashes longer than my breath
between looking at you and turning away.
You aren’t beautiful. Your hands
stain everywhere, and what comes
out of your mouth tends to pull the stitches
around my heart. But still I cling
to that unforgiving image: you
against the light, crumbling to nothing,
until all I can see is the graceful
unbearable arch of your neck -

Old work is old. But the love of the skinnystick people in this series just kills me every time. ;___;

By the way, Happy Birthday Diana Wynne-Jones! ♥ ♥ ♥
