In several directions, his tongue whipped and scorched me,
And he waited relentlessly to see the spark in my eyes...

Where the people say love...

Au revoir oh perilous freedom...

Since pledging my troth
to the missus July 25th, 1996
after the comma error
punctuated mein kampf with disequilibrium.

Ever since the notions

Running fast thru Autumn’s dream, Vincent-bright in village winter’s light
Topaz-treed streets, eaves-filled , singing with saffron and  gold,
A Rocky Mountain cold cornflower sky over English hills

In a world where up is down, 
Left is right, 
And hot is cold. 
I find myself wandering a seemingly endless sidewalk. 
"Pick your poison"

Streets
EMPTY...
Seems like she
STEPPED into,
Another WORLD-
Another DIMENSION...

She cries out

Falling deeper in darkness feeling better for now...
