Vast and blue spans the sky.
Across it, no cloud dares to go.
Alone, but ask not why;
Only little birds seem to know.
Their sour songs berate his fate,
Remake recluse into someone great.
And when storm clouds break their vow,
Listen not to thunder's bray,
But rather to murmur of the cow,
Who tells how sorrow stole the day.
Would that clouds part, let starlight through,
If only how again the sky knew.

I spin a web of entanglement. Trapping all who cross my lair. No one may pass unnoticed. Each thing must have it's own effect:- Be it good or bad. I observe you with awed silence.

While a bit of lead kills nerves dead, Its neighbor aids the suffering: In part it assuages your stomach's rages.

Boy?

With needle and thread, With ink and paper, With paint and canvass, With blood much thicker. I do it for you, In memory of you, Because of you, Inside or outside of you.
