Beating a smooth course for the right window

And clearing the sill of the world.

It is always a matter, my darling,

Of life or death, as I had forgotten.

I wish what I wished you before,

but harder.

Faux Fur Crown

You rummaged through my mind
when I went away for the summer time.
Its not like I'd mind if there was anything in there
Like what you thought you'd find.
I could not stand
To lose the only hold I have.
I knotted all my simple dreams into a faux fur crown
And now I'm going underground,
Cling to your hallow mysteries
like you know you can't.
She Grew Thin
From keeping all her open endings
crawling beneath her skin.
She'll just wait
Until you finally believe her words,
all this time she knew you would some day,
But please, not today.
So please don't find out

About my faux fur crown.
