самая большая радость - это жизнь
самая большая боль - это жизнь

memory burns into a loop
of melted vinyl
smooth touch
    scratching sound
a bottomless pool of broken noise.

white nail polish
glides into letters on a blackboard
forming romantic verses
      screeching to a halt
with the ripping of cuticles.

drifting into an afternoon siesta
waking to overgrown streets
electronic billboards
peak through the jungle
        'seek and destroy'.

sunlight reflects
off of a golden throne
white hot brightness
melting eyeballs explode
out of the hollow skulls.

Atlas cut off his ears
when the voices on his shoulders
drove him to madness
              lost bearings
without hearing
the balancing act slipped clumsy
dropping the blue ball into nothingness.

Jupiter's rings swung loose
falling
          forming a noose
cracking a lightning whip lasso
slipping around the neck
squeezing tight the windpipe
                                breathless death.
