The Letters

I've loved these lyrics for decades.

The Letters by King Crimson

With quill and silver knife
She carved a poison pen
Wrote to her lover's wife:
"Your husband's seed has fed my flesh".

As if a leper's face
That tainted letter graced
The wife with choke-stone throat
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes.

Impaled on nails of ice
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
With steady hands begins to write:

"I'm still, I need no life
To serve on boys and men
What's mine was yours is dead
I take my leave of mortal flesh"

Fair be the wind to thee

Jeff Conaway, who starred in the sitcom Taxi, played Kenickie in the movie musical Grease, and as Zack Allan was one of my favorite Babylon 5 characters, died Friday.

"I don't know where actors go after they die, but I know people who help other people have a nice place to go. And I would like to go there if I can." - Los Angeles Times in a January 2011 interview
