“The Splice of Life”



When colour 
was to be

they resolved 
to be the best 
pristine method

Mother of all flowers' and smell,
Ylang Ylang! You don't know what it causes!

Rosemary clears the head, you can tell,
Peppermint...

A town called Wong had an amazing tale,
Of witches who plotted to harm the townsfolk,
But their spells were so bad they became quite a joke.

So he snuck behind the shepherd and that’s when...

Nothing to write,
Nothing to say,
Nothing to help when nothing gets in the way,
Nothing is silence,
Nothing is hot tears and ice-cold fears,
Nothing is the deepest of sadness,
Nothing is remorse and guilt for a friend,
Nothing is madness...

Each arm like a single tree of temperate terre
Forming structure...

East returning complements with ‘pushy’,

They just remember themselves more.
It’s not hate,
not truly.
It’s the noise of their lives
that drowns out the quiet of yours.

They don’t sit around
thinking of you.
Not because you don’t matter,
but because their minds
are crowded with...
