smoldering ashes of a fire once hot . .

some recent words in the night sky

icons and abstractions:

warhol's factory
candy darling
midnight cowboy
Desiree is Julie Newmar?

time and place:

ashes
cobwebs
dust
moonlight and evensun

she is in fever dream
living at the end of century - household dressed in her period livery . . which is?

the mediated body:

scabs
bites
zombies
ghosts
vampires
nicotine and cheap cologne
greasy brylcream . . .

starlight ashes
vodka pouring from full bottles

no moral centre, we're running around naked and intoxicated on the vapours of the night

frames:

the daughter and the aunt: the one last thing she has to do is get her daughter settled . . (*check the relationships here)
chateau (is important!)
Sondheim and his desire to musicalize Ring Round the moon and to do Chekovian work
Bergman looming large
broad quotations from many performances/oeuvres . . .

a deck of cards dealt by Armfedlt: this was the original model
( . . . she was controlling the characters as if cards in a deck)
