Why you...angel--why you...to peep through the finality of white walls? To overspread the concussed skull that bangs against them to keep time...why you? Why were you born against a spillage of air in a freefall of wings? Nothing...absolutely nothing... between your wings, save for what you will embrace in that freefall...why you? Schooners rounding earth's violet aura-- dissolving into the transcontinental bestiary of souls...why you? You are what shone through the breakage of humanity--you are the emanation of our breakage...why you? You...legions of you...fence the Romantic's chimerical stead...only to retain the character of what implants itself face first...as so you.

Bestiary of Souls
Why you...angel--why you...to peep through the finality of white walls? To overspread the concussed skull that bangs against them to keep time...why you? Why were you born against a spillage of air in a freefall of wings? Nothing...absolutely nothing... between your wings, save for what you will embrace in that freefall...why you? Schooners rounding earth's violet aura-- dissolving into the transcontinental bestiary of souls...why you? You are what shone through the breakage of humanity--you are the emanation of our breakage...why you? You...legions of you...fence the Romantic's chimerical stead...only to retain the character of what implants itself face first...as so you.
