eyes the size of saucers by Indigo Tempestathe forever aspect of silence has been sick in your bed. where
are you supposed to sleep? almost twenty
shaking in the vivid façade of elderness with needles out of your brain telling you quiet
your window's maw holds back the cooling - this is called neglect by authorities - so cram your young forehead into the smeared glass and suck up what you can
how are you supposed to sleep in this tempest towering-thing over your sugar-sand you have lost weight under the pressure you have told your partners to be silent
you have tried to sleep elsewhere you have wanted to look out other windows onto other scenes forgetting the hint of a sail on the sea is as good as hope on a foggy day / that each inch of your going tatters the sails 02/02/2005 Author's Note: drunkanddepressed. needs work.
