I wore sadness...

I did not summon these thoughts—they arrived already breathing, wrapped in the salty cloak of silence, like relics rising from the forgotten graves of someone else's ruins, where echoes dance like spirits in the twilight of forgetting.

I breathe so fiercely, so steadily, – I breathe as a rock ~ Full of life now, like a 140 pound lizard – With green eyes, With muscles full of blood With a heart - perfect blood pressure And smiling – if required. I breathe steady while I blink consciously, Chocolate on my breath In my underwear...

In the depths of a world breathing beneath the vast and silent sky, Where shadows are memories of days that were never ours, Someone, an architect of dreams and fear, stretches their invisible fingers, Gently caressing the fragile threads of minds that believe they are free, Woven from illusions, we, mask-wearers, lost in this dance Of imposed thoughts, a silent...
