breathe again because now it comes so easy


the war is won

this weight is light

and i am finally lifted

it's hell when you're around

we go blind
when we've needed to see
and it leans on me
like a rootless...

let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out

will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?



one day, there was a flash of blinding light, and i woke up very cold. (it was an accident, to be sure, but that made almost no difference at all.)



i learned, that day, that things are almost always exactly as they appear.







it was a very long day.
