Eruptions

I once had a dream. I was a seagull, on a first class tour of the clouds and mountaintops of a set of lush, coastal islets.

This land, remote, was pimpled green, and the tips of the great hills and mounts oft charred and exhaled steam, the air smelling of seawater and steam and fog. The isles curved around like a lowercase j, with the largest of the mountains dotting like the top, looking down on the rest of the chain.

At the bottom of the ‘j’ were many smaller ones, and atop each one sat a different person. On my tour, I flew past the first of the pimply hills, surveying the inhumanly large men and women sitting on the various tips of these mountains.

I’m tired, but my eyes hang on just long enough and when I take to bed, I go under just for a moment’s passing until I pop back up, gasping… Continue reading to take a pill or to drown

Varicose

Out of place like varicose veins Trying to stop blood flow The pressure only rises Swept away, Sun, Tsunami Only seeing red Varix, varix.

Plato

I once had a conversation with Plato The Philosopher. By the time I finished speaking, He had bled to death.
