My cries at having lost you,
My breath whispering I love you
And my tears mourning the loss of you.

Lay me down beside you The lion and the lamb It's hard to keep so still In this strange bliss, to keep so calm, For many have devoured me, Many more before you came Have taken chunks to strengthen...
And there I hung from this frozen star, Dangling, watching from afar. Cooling my feelings, becoming a flake, No more of this watching I could take.
Is flickering pixelated images of you. My Butterfly Compass. Is moist. Dripping lizard-like corals of saliva for you. My Butterfly Compass. Is impregnated. Virally infected with diagrams of you.
Life hides chances, Time steals deliberately The days, the weeks, the months The years, I fear Are falling away from me But I am Salamander Regenerating continuously Sever a finger, With your...
