And wrapped about her braids to grace her forehead like a crown;
Her thick and shining braids that...

war daily
enrobed in their

rainbow coloured badges
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts
and oily palms
profiting from all
the soft-boiled
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed

The scenery was magnificent, and the morning was slightly hot,
Our land cruiser was windowless, and sitting in a lovely spot.

One could hardly gaze at the vast...

A Paradox of Time Reborn
The sun, resplendent in its blazing might,

from sacred creations
