In the center of my chest sounds;
A pestle and mortar that pound,
With the rhythm of tudu-tudu-tudu;
In a manner that flows,
one and two and three;- breathe;
The ratio of three to one,
Three beats of my heart followed...

You all walk past me and you don't bat an eye,
Not even when you can see the pain in my cry,
You tar me with the same brush as them all, that you cant deny,
But ignoring...

Fractals proceeding from fractals in perfect regularity
Then, all of a sudden – a cataclysm – this pattered had been shattered
Like crystals being diluted by a prankster...

aching deep within
reaching out beyond the veil
never forgotten

The rhythm, quiet and swelling
Memories, breathing
Naivete through wonders
In sapphire, azure, passions
Alive on laughing mysteries, skies
Brilliant and alive – wise

In crisp, cool echoes – glimpses
Obsessed with the...

Ages there are in which the ration'l man 
And th'intuitive stand side by side, the one

Dreams in their hearts
That weave in and out
Beyond the edges

No...

The guardian of my building 
From above the streets

Every night
Kissing in the hallway 
She holding on to him 
Looking deep into his...

Suddenly followed by fear of death

In the raw wind blowing towards the settlement
There was smell...

in all human history this is being said now
as the flies gather about my corpse

Which is long
It never steps backwards%

I feared the blank holes
To insert and answer on
Ice cold I frozen hoped

To be exact, before the Sun-rise
Surely body will feel damn tired
