 Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air.
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly,
out of the corner of my watering eye.
A dream unthreatened by the morning light,
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this:
suspended animation, a state of bliss.

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies,
tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I.

The absolute best example of the importance of a single, sharp, horizontal line

This is on the top floor of my dream gallery. A collage that eats itself. Shadows become birds. Light sees its own ending.
