Asked to Stay and Given Leave...?

[cedargrove]

Her face had the black-blue shine of coal.
Her one bony tooth was red like rust.
Her hair was thick and dense and gray
like brushwood in a dying forest.
In her head was one eye like a pool,
swifter than a star in the winter sky.
That one stone eye in the hag's head
moved quicker than mackerel after a lure.

--Scottish song about the hag goddess

all right fine. the decision is taken away from you and you have to stay. you can't afford to do anything else. if you want to be irresponsible, go ahead and go back to england and live in a cardboard box and never see me again. I'm not about to take that away from you if it's what you want. but something tells me you'd only whine and complain even more of what a horrible shit I was in not being supportive of you if I /supported/ you in this decision to fly away home with your tail tucked between your legs.
