Get me out of this hospital bed.
I feel as though I'm trapped in time
and like the Cheshire cat, I wish I could just disappear
instead of being tied down and made numb to the world around
if only I could escape, make my retreat...
You'll find me sitting on a couch on a beach

listening to the waves

holding a bottle of wine and a cigarette
imagine the feeling of a setting sun
like dimming a lantern
slowly, extinguishing the flame
finding comfort in the coolness of nights embrace
reflections lost in an unfocused gaze
transparent pieces being put out of place
So the fallout begins.
No steps to retrace.
