A voice whispers words into my veins A voice instructs me, strut this way And that way too, don’t stop...I’ll never shoo. By the time I’ve made it to the train My heart begins to                                                             Thump                                                                                                                                                 Thump                                                                                      Thump                                                                                                                 Without a moment to choke                                                                                                                      I hop on the station                                                                                                            Headed west, with barely a breath                                                                                           A thought in this head that steals any concentration Sleep eludes me, you penetrate me Enrich me with the echoes of your mind Bare with me, let us intertwine                                                A path paved over by the ways of the world                                                Still hot and sticky, I mold it with my toes                                                  Imprinted with my wishes and my hopes No traces of intervention No substance of prevention Sitting atop the stool Painted by the artist Within his palm Lies his instrument Prepared to implement Painting shadows of time and space Strokes back and forth Lines united by grace                                                                                                 A picture varnished                                                                                               A piece of time caught                                                                                                As quick as created, it                                                                                                                                                                                  dis..                                                                                                                         si..                                                                                                                                pa.                                                                                                                                          .tes                                                       Fading with all its glory

A Sketch in Ash
A voice whispers words into my veins A voice instructs me, strut this way And that way too, don’t stop...I’ll never shoo. By the time I’ve made it to the train My heart begins to                                                             Thump                                                                                                                                                 Thump                                                                                      Thump                                                                                                                 Without a moment to choke                                                                                                                      I hop on the station                                                                                                            Headed west, with barely a breath                                                                                           A thought in this head that steals any concentration Sleep eludes me, you penetrate me Enrich me with the echoes of your mind Bare with me, let us intertwine                                                A path paved over by the ways of the world                                                Still hot and sticky, I mold it with my toes                                                  Imprinted with my wishes and my hopes No traces of intervention No substance of prevention Sitting atop the stool Painted by the artist Within his palm Lies his instrument Prepared to implement Painting shadows of time and space Strokes back and forth Lines united by grace                                                                                                 A picture varnished                                                                                               A piece of time caught                                                                                                As quick as created, it                                                                                                                                                                                  dis..                                                                                                                         si..                                                                                                                                pa.                                                                                                                                          .tes                                                       Fading with all its glory
