July 2012 Challenge - First Week Masterlist
Day 1:
No use to weep inside and to scream outside.
Behind all this perhaps some great happiness is hiding.
Day 2:
The first rain reminds me
Of the rising summer dust.
Day 3:
Love is not the last room: there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.
Day 4:
But then it is the light that makes you remember.
Day 5:
Restless I shall wander about;
hungry for life I'll die.
Day 6:
And no more shall we tell what we were told
To other tellers. Silence as admission.
Day 7:
Do not accept these rains that come too late.
Better to linger. Make your pain
An image of the desert.
No use to weep inside and to scream outside.
Behind all this perhaps some great happiness is hiding.

Posting late because, while I put it up on AO3, I forgot to post here at the right time. D'oh.
Title: Where I Want To Be
Fandom: Tucker's Luck (Grange Hill spin-off)
Author:starry_starrrz
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Alan Humphries / Christopher 'Creamy' Eames
Summary: Alan learns that growing up is hard to do.
Content Notice: None.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or series concept, and (sadly) make no money from writing about them.
Author's Note: Written for the 2012 poetry_fiction fic challenge, inspired by a stanza of poetry by Yehuda Amichai. It made me think of a mentor guiding someone away from making mistakes, the rest kind of built up around it.
The sun thought that Jerusalem was a sea
and set in her: a terrible mistake.
Sky fish were caught in a net of alleys,
tearing one another to pieces.
