From the grass bed, cotton fluffs of white swirling past shadowy ebbs and crests of green hills. Dots of trees fringe the edges of reverie in the wind. I’m wide awake asleep daydream embracing splashes of red soft velvety blossom full under the warm sun. Free spirit flowing with the world shifting [...]

I can feel it now across this table in the old diner of this no man’s land, The sound of shuffling deck of cards. Or is it the leaves in autumn falling in September- that he will remember? Do you know what it feels like to be buried in cans and tins of paint, [...]
