"Medusa will come to turn me into a stone angel I will be placed on
the third floor with the others piled up to gather dust stacked and
neglected wings encased in marble I never once flew except in my
dreams"

"Dystopia bone-tired after hours at home;
Dystopia can’t read a book without thinking about the trees;
Dystopia can’t talk about it without panicking;
Dystopia of hold music;
Dystopia of platitudes;
Dystopia of garbled logic spun and spun in the head"
"here come cascades of earliness in
which everything is asked is it light
is it light is it light
the horizon making only muffled
answers but moisture on leaves is
quick to throw glances"
from Tithonus - 46 Minutes in the Life of the Dawn
