The sky opened up and released its anger

The only other witness to her multiple deaths
The world...

I was surprised...

Identity Crisis
...Would you remember me
When there's not much of me left?
When I'm faded,
Like a rock chipped away by erosion.
Would you remember me
When you're almost unrecognisable?
When I don't think I know...

Playing out of tune and terribly flat
He scared the daylights out of the cat
The horsehair that ran along the bow

Your back is brittle, like time-greyed oak,
Curved like a bow,
The string constantly tight and ready.
The glare from your eyes:
Like cold steel.

On that fiery horizon of earth,
Bright like the fire in my hearth.

Of my rage that burned along
With your corpse, wit...

blue as the
Orpheus ocean
clear in the

naivety irritates it
birthing hard gems
it calls in

when ...
