sunday’s eve- rainy days & mondays… time. time, time/see what’s become of me/ while i lookd around/for my
possibilities…
(& th sky/is a hazy shade of winter) -is my life over before it’s begun? i hear th crunch of approaching
wheels on th dirt road- nothing, nobody… no messages, no reply/no reply… what was it th white rabbit kept
saying? ‘i’m late!’? ‘i’m running late!’? time is short, pudgy, bald…tiene q ser la luna- it must be th
moon: selene is hidden tonight & hecate rampant spits dark madness over th land… closest to winter we come
in these latitudes is th february new moon, wild winds swirling as th cold fronts push south all th way from

(TH MONSTER)
i found my way to winter
where my heart could make a home
my black blood will fuel th fire
my white flame will dance alone
sown up out of magic meat-
i am free! i sing & stroke!
how long am i yet to live?
i dream children out of smoke
reach yr skygod, mother earth
while i, yr only burning bush
rootless roll across yr face-
play my curse out, aimless push
…loof, d=(8{>
