Once upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon.
He was an ordinary boy who did what ordinary nine year old

by wanderers older than the scroll of Zeno
its damp salve seeping through my coat
into my bones

THE BLOODY TOWER

I am so trapped a phantom princess, on an ethereal plain, spiritually
Forgotten in isolation's domain, in hell's chamber of brick and mortar,
In this imprisonment of the unjust, I'm the innocent accursed, in England's
Bloody...

Your soul, my Love,
is the pristine gilded white,
that cascades down from Heaven's summit.
A river that fills me, a dry riverbed,
