within each day. Book consciously read.
And frustrations. Package dropped, honey...

O Aphrodite,
Grecian fertility goddess
Matriarch idol of the womb,
your wise children love not reproducing

I was an experienced interior designer, whose specialty was outer doors,
Ever opening to amber sunshine, as petals open, when vivid beams pour.

Functionality and beauty were very vital, so I helped customers each day,

A dweller in waste places, 
a void in foggy darkness, 
the unseen shadow that trails us. 
A doom that curses benign plants. 
A tenacious panting wolf feeding 
off the sorrows of the soil. 
She's the...

Into a vortex chemically unbalanced,
Soft velvety dark smooth to the touch.
My heart broken asunder my Souls' pain enhanced,
All darkness Inverted oh so much.

Soft velvety dark smooth to the touch,
Outside reality searching space.
All darkness Inverted oh...

Brutal was the biting wind,
sweeping brown locks of a tiny urchin

competing to survive
in Earth's choking climates
of totally domesticated and over-run despair,

Corn People,
PolyCultural Planners,
greeting Yang-behaving bean bodies
growing up and into our digestive tracks
and tracts,
our speaking...

The elves had been loading Santa’s sleigh for the night.
The reindeer were all prancing about, with delight.

on the crispy, cold air, as the sleigh left with a “zing”.
