Electric pylons
and ghosts who crossed perfection
playing in my mind,
as a cold but bright star is
ever glowing, though afar.

Distant eyes shimmer
ever glowing, through afar
sometimes dark or bright
sometimes flashing the brightest
as if they were starry nights

they told me to never give up on my dreams.

so i took another nap

Hijinks says...

i recall vignettes
as if they were starry nights;
memories bitter
with inkblots, yet sweetened by
scattered flakes of gold leaf sheets.

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

A long white table,
scattered flakes of gold leaf sheets
clumped in one corner;
sunset-wings flutter, landing
on that vast and vacant plane.

Nothing lives on Mars;
On that vast and vacant plane,
Only dust gathers,
Waiting for human footprints
To shape its red particles.

Ixora flower
to shape its red particles
waits for lava rain,
soon realising that the soil
bleeds carmine alluvium.

That desolate world
bleeds carmine alluvium,
spills red-orange soil
outwards to the winds of time.
Time that whisks all things away

I arrive to bleed
time that whisks all things away,
as the droplets fall,
I hear them splat against the street,
watch how they divide, sink in.

Rook says...

dull knife cuts cold plums
watch how they divide, sink in--
purple skin bloodies
bamboo cutting board, how sweet
the juice dribbles from my lips.

Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.
To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!

smooth fruit, I bit in,
the juice dribbles from my lips.
sweet like summer days
where the sky is blue kool-aid
school-time seems so far away

Even fireflies
must need to use the restroom
at midnight, sometimes;
otherwise, they are like stars
on tour, visiting the earth.

sifting through forest
can we ever find our home?
it's impossible
for us, the ones without wings
we sink back into our caves

they told me to never give up on my dreams.
