Dark Eclipse Takes the Kitty Fall

It was strange the cars, like stand alones, all unoccupied, dotting the dark wet stained streets, the moon licking puddles like a stray dog thirsty checking its reflection for a friend, yet no master - It was strange the cars, like stand alones, all unoccupied, dotting the dark wet stained streets, alarms blaring, as if in warning stay inside, stay inside, stay inside, draw your blinds light your holy candles demons, like poets surround us, annoint your foreheads with ash and holy oils, kneel by your bedsides and recite what you recall, those poems in prayers if at all, repeat them 3 times, light your holy candles demons, like poets surround us, annoint your foreheads with ash and holy oils, the 1 carrying the collection plate like dogwood has come to call, and that 1 be assured, will take all like cards for the kitty, come the final call and - well, we’re on the other side of the mirror watching you all dark matters from bad unions Suns and Moons lost brides and their wayward husbands locked in their glass menageries those crystal bardo cages, intangible shadows haunting like all hallows watching you for all eternities taking the kitty fall Candide Diderot. ‘24 “I didn't go to the moon, I went much further - for time is the longest distance between places…” “The light bulb consumes itself as it gives light, doesn't it? “Glass breaks so easily. No matter how careful you are.” “Delusion sets them (people with charm) apart - it keeps them from understanding that the world is a big, dangerous place.” “For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura - and so, goodbye... “ “We have to have some entertainment in this house.” "The Glass Menagerie"/Tennessee Williams (1944) “It was a ballad I wrote which I called it ‘my wolf howling across the sea’. The time I was thinking about the moon, when you’re in one continent or one piece of land that when you see the moon it might be a different time as someone else is seeing it. I thought that if you could just send a message on the moon, someone else might see the moon and receive the message. You know, the idea of cycles and how we’re all connected but separate.” “Moon and Moon” (2 Suns)/Bat for Lashes (2009)
