Comments about Matt Denis
You Go Wheeling Through The Night Air
For Rosie
I.
They were sweet-sad, I think,
Created by some angel of desperate happiness.
Restless and black, a thousand lonely fragments of light collecting
In a pool of shine at the middle.

And imagine it now, so there won’t be any ...
we're totes friends now :)
