Journey To RealityThe world we let die not just of ourselves

Hartshorns' Silver Moon GrassThey write in the language of perfume
flowery powdered words all layered

The Relic
I don't know the faces
in the old photograph,
stored in the attic

He sits across from me at the sable-shaded table, in shades,
pours black coffee pungent as the Gauloises he smokes,
his sun-starved skin bone-white but brooding black light,

That's not art, that's vandalism they scream
But they can’t or won’t let themselves see what is truly
