Souls, once one in the sun, Now reach for fallen stars. Ludic, hopeless fingers— G r a s p i n g For a sole thread of truth. Don’t fly too close, little firefly. For it’s flame shall render All your desires and dreams To spurned puddles of wax. D r i p p i n g In these wrinkled hands Formed for puppets A silhouette on the sphere As the Earth only knows, The darkness it adheres.

Lies, Child
Souls, once one in the sun, Now reach for fallen stars. Ludic, hopeless fingers— G r a s p i n g For a sole thread of truth. Don’t fly too close, little firefly. For it’s flame shall render All your desires and dreams To spurned puddles of wax. D r i p p i n g In these wrinkled hands Formed for puppets A silhouette on the sphere As the Earth only knows, The darkness it adheres.
