I glimpsed the sweet refrain of a resurrection
swift upon a...

simply a case of precipitation,
moist warm air condensation or

Somewhere in the Ground
Embarrassed to say goodbye

Despised by the crowd that encourages sex and crime
Lying naked on the wooden...

KRAMPUS CHRISTMAS
KRAMPUS CHRISTMAS

The Christmas magic disappears
As they look through older eyes.

Or a sign for Santa`s sleigh,
Or carrots for the reindeer
To eat...

In the Gloaming
I was a daydreamer and stargazer, who eagerly awaited calm nights of glitter,
Like blue skies warily turning pink, plum and red, as orange sun sinks, bitter.
I grew familiar with diverse constellations, along the different astral...
