it’s time to rest

for a little while, not think
about what’s to come

just listen

remember everything, listen
to the echoes

rest

play with the cat.

Darkness will come.

All the infringements of suffering
that have broken our own selves

will unfold us

and we'll lay there naked and unveiled
in each-other's arms

as gold falls from the sky.

I thought I could use him,
take advantage of his
unfaithful desire.

It turns out
I am more sincere
than that.

It turns out
his slimy mind
is unbearable–

not worth even
the most magnificent castle
made of sand.
