It's a long,             slow,                 languid sky. Clouds incinerating, in a smouldering heat, on the horizon, The last traces, of afternoon light, beseiged by sunset. Your memory, is a wild specter, casting firefly trickery, into the settling twilight. And the city rolls, past itself, projected on the mirrored face, of a glass building. I am a lonely Alice. Somewhere on a checkered green, in that looking glass world, you are having tea parties, without me. Coaxing dream, with your Red Queen, and Cheshire grin. Sending it flailing, weightless, through smoke rings, like dogs through hoops - rabbit holes. It's a long,            slow,                languid sky. Darkness falls, like the weight of years, that pass as quickly, as the peak, of a dreaming red sunset. Their memory, is a great humid ghost, condensing itself, the way dampness and heat, press the air. Tomorrow promises rain. I will ****** my face, to the mirage sky, and its clouds, will weep. Salty, watercolor tears, blurring the reflection, of my absence, in your looking glass world.

Inside the Looking Glass
It's a long,             slow,                 languid sky. Clouds incinerating, in a smouldering heat, on the horizon, The last traces, of afternoon light, beseiged by sunset. Your memory, is a wild specter, casting firefly trickery, into the settling twilight. And the city rolls, past itself, projected on the mirrored face, of a glass building. I am a lonely Alice. Somewhere on a checkered green, in that looking glass world, you are having tea parties, without me. Coaxing dream, with your Red Queen, and Cheshire grin. Sending it flailing, weightless, through smoke rings, like dogs through hoops - rabbit holes. It's a long,            slow,                languid sky. Darkness falls, like the weight of years, that pass as quickly, as the peak, of a dreaming red sunset. Their memory, is a great humid ghost, condensing itself, the way dampness and heat, press the air. Tomorrow promises rain. I will ****** my face, to the mirage sky, and its clouds, will weep. Salty, watercolor tears, blurring the reflection, of my absence, in your looking glass world.
