+# liguria
+
+Perhaps it was in Liguria that a Flancian slayed [[Moloch]], or that the process that would result in Moloch's death got started.
+
+Perhaps it wasn't.

 # slaying moloch
 
 - [[pull]] [[slay moloch]] [[some days I feel like slaying moloch]]
+- [[push]] [[liguria]]
+  - a [[canto]] I hope to write a draft of in [[summer 2021]]
+  - despise the gruesome picture it may evoke, actually about [[building bridges]]
+- [[push]] [[do]]
+  - [[reread]] [[meditations on moloch]]
+    - it left an impression on me, but I'm unsure how representative the impression I currently have of it, mutated by time and experience, matches what's there
+    - I can't say I know it unless I reread it, and making Moloch a part of the [[flancia]] narrative would be irresponsible without revisiting this source. 
+  - [[read]] [[hyperion]]
+    - I read some of it once upon a time, but I don't remember how much. I think I mix up [[dan simmons]] a bit with [[jack vance]].
