the sign speaks to you in your mind but you know it is silent. take a fifth one feel the rough material scratch against the skin of your hands take a sixth one and be free take a seventh one and break the cycle

you can only take four paper towels
What of the stories,what of you,what of the words or what of my dew Lies and lies  Strangled the fliers  Witnessed it, he has admirers  Sweetness and tartness ignored  Mulberry swallowed but in the heart it sored What would the 'dead lips' pen When it had not the truth,son Curses though slip off Feelings be never any drawf  For to hate  Once there should have been love's bait tight How dangling and dwindling  No shore was he ever kindling  Hours and hours  It takes no par  Touch not that knight  He has swords defending with might  How barren is he and Knows not any scabbard Those wands of enigma  That suits not the noble hands off stigma Suitors of temper  Shooters of blood towels much damper  Is it your blood ?  Shut-up for god's sake  Let's arrange him a slumber

Dissembled
Soft sand and hot beaches, Wild winds and beach ***** Towels and sun tan lotions. A little girl as old as six, Kicking up broken shells and sticks. Wind-blown sand ripped across her bare ankles, Hair a mess, Full of tangles. Squishing sand between little toes, Little miss curious with cheeks of rose. A toothy grin turned up to the sun, Laughter ringing through the crowd, A mother calling out, "Go have fun!" Long dark hair bouncing through the crowd, Skipping back to the shore, Smiling faces all around. Suppressed memories of a little girl the age of six, Something remembered, A mind to fix.
