For The Past Three Days There Was

Dissolve

But I'd want

you to know

I'd happily

dissolve

I don't have

much more to do,

I'll tell you

that, yes,

I'll happily dissolve

-s's.

why do I never admit what I will someday? make a lie for myself in a horrible way and I wouldn't like to watch you come tumbling too with some bleak misfortune, staring in silent rooms

-s's.

why resist the fire of you when it shines on me too

-s’s.

until the day

this day Summer resurrected from her grave Once again the wind sends the birds that dissolve into dust Sending thoughts northward This is the coldest tear you’ll ever shed Sparks rip your wells to puddles Stars fall on the floor When it starts happening You realize you don’t like it anymore

de Dreamland (a soft war)

am I so soft and alone as they say that I am, in dreamland?

dream of an ugly diary, destined for the bin

seemed like a pretty thing, a life less full of sin

Leonard Cohen

do I look like summer to you?

do I look like something to prove?

I don’t look like summer anymore

I fell,

you score

-s’s.

As I am,

I see through a golden space

I'm trapped in amber sap,

Onto the outside I look

Within the inside I am firm

Fossilized, undiscerned

-s's.

I studied you in busy parks

I studied all your seasons

I loved you even in the dark,

I loved you for no reason

I give you something you can't hold

I give you my dear mind

and even if you never know, I'll love you for all time.
