I had a hat on my dresser,
so I followed it when it went down,
deep down, strafing the columns down the copper piping, through the root systems,
towards a really unknown place.

I was blind down there, and all I could hear was the marching of my feet.

No birdsongs, or snakes slithering; bruises on my arm are reminding me I'm awake - my tongue is a dream, though, the words marionettes,
magic tricks...

Cars fizz by in an envious freedom of space...


I've eyes for the floors,          for the grasses,        
                                                     like a smouldering faerie,


I've been bent on pupils, 
                          madly handled,         
scrapped with the rubbish,         

left touched but not handled -

"Fresh fish, fresh fish!"

"how much"

"four for one"

"how about three for one"

"I can't do three for one"

"okay, six for two"

"six for two, yes sir, yes sir"

"this day seems out of 'the sun rising', by donne"

"yes sir, nice day, real nice"

"thank you very much"

"anything else for you, sir?

"I don't believe so. I am going out to sea"

"oh, out to sea... I see... would you like to commandeer a boat?"

"a barge would be more suitable"

"a barge, and a boat"

"just a barge"

An I write to you inquisitor that you have been gone way too long for your own good. IT's like the dark side or something. IT's absolutely horrendous as to where you've gone and how you've got there? Took a plane? Wait! NO! Took a train?! Maybe you did, seems like a long journey to have taken a train. Sleepy for a good nights work, so long now.

Hereafter

consuming the knowledge, wisdom, understanding from the overlooked shadows, the peacefull passing curtains of ships, dewey frost and rosy sunlight golden
in the reflection of a blade of grass.

fear is anger, anger is hate, hate is suffering.

Disillusionment
Dissolve
Like all symbols are once made.
first we hid,
now we hide.

Do not divide these paths
I once took towards her
then her towards me
than away from both

Like all symbols are once made,
now lost towards
a single step.

I step I step I step
Do not divide these paths
I once took towards her
then her towards me.

Do not divide these paths
for the dividing wrath
is one in the same
