Mmm - I'm glad you found something to enjoy in this: it's not one that I'm particularly pleased with. "So why is it here?" you ask. The short answer is "format"! It's from a modern set of short pieces which use Gackt photos to imply a story (I took the idea from a Gackt interview in the German magazine Rockoon where he says that his MVs have stories because his songs all have stories - so I thought, yeah, his face always tells more than one story too!); this one was the easiest to cram into a 400 pixel width limit. That simple!

As I use a bmp/jpg for the words as well as the image, it is difficult to mess with the dimension. When I'm feeling strong, I'll tinker with the others which I'm sure you might like better.

The set uses Gackt's less comfortable images to float less comfortable ideas. The result is slightly un-fannish (sorry) but not, I think, un-Gacktian as he does like his dark side, no?

Thanks for troubling to read and to leave a comment (there's a small reward - er, hope you can call it that - over at UG)

"So why is it here?" you ask.

Aha - that's my careless wording! I meant that you'd be entitled to ask this question, given that I'd just said that this poem - the first I'd offered to GA - wasn't one that I was so keen on.

Yeah, I sure do think out the poems - my brain has got to chew on something: it's got big, long fangs and gets expensive to feed if I don't toss it a constant stream of these little morsels!
