another mouth of many stitched to the ribs whispers of: daggers in the dark
cold glow of grey a menagerie of extinguished suns kept in cages
a sliver of winter lives on in grey reflections of liquid and glass
the ritual gaze into the abyss and then: birdsong

from the outside looking in the phantom of the mango tree fills her form with laughter
one of many paradises: passion replaced by the soulless vice of machines
