    i know no anger
    only forgiveness'
    sweet taste
    "I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
    and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
    sunny skies pervade my dreams
    and light the dark of earthly scenes..."

    The blade is green and sharp
    Cut it
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    a nervous laugh.
    an awkward silence.
    first encounter.
    "O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself. "
    -Louis Aragon

    The moon's
    pale fingers
    caress
    the black night
    "I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
    and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
    sunny skies pervade my dreams
    and light the dark of earthly scenes..."

    Hi, I'm new here.
    Please don't fillet me.

    -

    Life,
    a susurration.

    Universe,
    don't go back asleep.

    -

    Breakfast,
    Best meal:
    Breastmilk,
    Cereal:
    Corn flakes,
    Lactate.

    -

    Pondering this
    Strange music's
    Dissonant depths,
    Schoenberg's peaks.

    (Schoenberg: "beautiful mountain")

    -

    Phantasmal,
    Squat neatly beneath the lamppost,
    She pees.

    -

    Midnight's black umbrella skin,
    Rain its death sweat

    -

    It's been fun,
    but it's time for work.

    that grow
    only in dreams
