The feast of sorrow,
with tears and mucor,
tumbling down delicate
cheeks and cracked lips.

My heart just beat again...

pieces of peace.
You think its protection
but look what you did.

I know what is wrong,
So I will give right a change.
Don’t ask me how I know,
I just know.

Think wit me a while.
Deeply. Shut shallowness out
Stick with me
Tenderly. Dont get too stuck.

still learn to think of me.
I brought you to life, you should learn
...

My appetite for food is put
away in a separate luggage,
which i send forth ahead of me
to prepare my destination for my arrival.
