extraordinary: the many things

in his mind, not a storm

of our making

forgotten, we do nothing

we mean no harm, we

walk the road to the end

how do I

look into the cursing

shadows of a repeat performance

the effect was hypnotic

the important thing to understand

about history

is -

it’s fictional,

for the most part…

a moment, founded

by empty years and

dangerous brown eyes

ask the dead, what

is the wisest thing?

in the moonlight, we

married in a dream

she paused, wait!

escape the way you

wake, and die

in real life

the last explosion

is the light

the madness

it's the only way to care about such things

in the days to come the pauses were long but the game is nonsense

you win, you lose - you get the chance to watch men move their pieces
