you are walking in a stream of absolute strangers woolgathering in cerebral catacombs with faraway eyes as your shadow strides behind you as you face the sun with a blank face… Time dawdles instantaneously. every moment compressed into a - slow expanse of happenings all around you at the center of nothing as you stroll cutting through the park of your epiphanies.
strolling the block where the after-hours smother towers with black snow and Halogen lights with black velvet haloes. I go where the moths grovel in mobs towing a lifeboat out to Sea with a straight face staring at a Northstar made of bottle caps and headlights… humming to themselves - because it’s midnight now and nothing can stop them.
My lute has found a voice made of porcelain and the risible rattle of dry leaves. I have only one note. But my lunacy resounds. With only two hands I grasp; dropping - the Sun…
But I keep the Moon for an Eclipse when I want one.
like an amateur Magician at a Mirror, over a Sink.
Your silence hurts me, it reduces me to a frantic mess. For so long you’ve embraced me, I’ve become a madman, obsessed. Right when I’ve bared all my vulnerabilities, you cease your caress—
Your silence hurts me, have I become someone you detest?
