( Blood Song )

A week ago I saw an absolutely extraordinary documentary, Rivers and Tides. Its subject is an English artist, Andy Goldsworthy, who works almost entirely with found natural materials, like leaves and thorns and ice, and creates utterly beautiful pieces, some of which only last for hours or even minutes.

The film got me thinking about what a fascinating word ephemeral is and our assumptions about the worth of ephemera. And then I had the possibly addled idea to do a series of seven drabbles centred around the idea of the ephemeral. As i've now finished all but the last of these drabbles, I'll be posting one a day for the next week, in a variety of different fandoms. (Even Blake's 7, my first fandom, and one in which I have not written for close to ten years.)

All of the resulting drabbles are about the ephemeral in some way, though none use the actual word.

The first child of this experiment is behind the cut, and is in LotR, focussing on Boromir, of course.

faramir_boromir, this one's for you.
