Are you the ***** with the golden crown?
Drinking gillyflowers through grubby buttonholes

Or a purple dusted poet riding a trail of shooting stars?
Writing of sweet Persephone’s tears filling up Zeu’s little cup

The springtime blue knight bidding his Lady not forget him?
Whilst being swept away to his bier of waterlilys

Come now Johnny jump up and trade in your pretty pansies for pennys
Idaho, March, 14
Perla Nov 4
I saw myself in the evening and I saw myself at dawn. I even thought I saw myself as Venus wandered on

I looked down at the soil, at the gillyflowers, at the stock, but their scent was just too cloying so I began to walk

I came across a mine filled with rubies and gold but found the darkness heavy and far too empty and cold

I heard some voices whispering down a dusty road and more flowers seemed to bloom with every uttered word. I heard them getting closer so opposite I strode and I wound up in a field scattered with glass it was only then that I noticed just how much time had passed

I saw myself in the evening, I saw myself at dawn and then I finally realized that at last, in all her glory, Venus had finally passed.

— The End —
