sitting in an ivory tower. high above any contact. eating a loaf of bread. with a pretty dress on. waiting to be rescued. or maybe just thought about. desiring to spin wool. reading a book on the Warsaw ghetto. growing fat.

life II
fleet foot of mine lay claim to no one not even my own. chains wrapped around my own curious trials

fidelity
guard down, my veil and wall has been dropped. not worried about my twitches, my looks or the size of my behind a maternal hold, so familiar. thinking past, I think better of slumber than old lovers. when sleep and I take a rest during a sunny day. The rest of the world was working, but we were being naughty spending so much time together. The afternoon a storm came, we held each other and smiled at the rain.

sleep
" I want to die." I said. Like I always say, every few months. He took it in stride, didn't say anything, but let his body glide next to mine. I thought of regular ways to end these endless days. Hanging is such a strange thing, what glory is ending life with a single string? Throwing myself off a balcony had some charm, but living on the first floor, would cause myself more harm then death. Drugs and overdoses seem romantic, but I could end up a vegetable, even more tragic! So here, I lay. Chugging away planning our wedding day.

today again.
" I want to die."  I said.  Like I always say, every few months. He took it in stride, didn't say anything, but let his body glide next to mine. I thought of violent ways to end my endless days. Hanging is such a strange thing, besides nothing in my apartment would do this sufficiently. Throw myself into train traffic, but why cause such a racket? Poor people having to go to work. Drugs! Yes,  drugs. Unless you do it wrong and end up in a coma with a personality of a rug. So here, I lay. Chugging away planning our wedding day.

today
No one ever appointed me judge or jury. What can one do when a friend is cutting their morals in a blaze of glory? Stand by and let time fly? Speak up and gives their senses a try? The time came and I cut them away Better off then let my mind always thinking of them astray Alone I am now. It's now all that bad anyhow.

friends
catching different sorts of insects the feeling of Earth on your bare feet feeling like a millionaire with any coin you find the humid wind making your hair heavy your height being level to an adults **** for years some sort of sugary substance attached to my cheeks hours of boredom, which we would **** for as adults closeness with siblings, never to be regained. and if there were such thing as reincarnation, would childhood summers be like this all over again?

Allow me to sigh, the simplest release. Ease me from those tomorrow is right around the corner blues. This breath isn't a cigarette a cup of ***** an afternoon snooze or a roll in the hay. No, it's just one cleansing breath means so much to me. Now I know how monks reach divinity.

I have climbed it took me a while to tell you that. been tricked by beautiful before. we all have balanced on those red rocks mastered it though you may not like to hear having known it felt how ugly came down will show you this is my everyday. I hold you more than you will know. Lead me to you.
