you were of gauze and velvet pen with fragile glass inside and you said you were empty but needed to be broken before you could be free to fly I spent my sigh words like coins in the slot of your hungry bandit pressing them into your brim making your eyes light up as each one found a trigger your heart was there too but deeper under the fabric I nudged it gently on purpose and your fingers closed quickly keeping me inside and outside too while I waited for your submission ___________ daark |

You inspire me and make it hard to look back you know~ this made my eyes water... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You were the whip of wind and playful slap against the double sided window you kept my glass half full we fit the broken pieces so perfectly face up in the clouds. |

Hah! I echo Bel1e . . . JACKPOT! In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. |
