Space and time



Jeremy Camilleri has made beautiful noises. You should listen to them and download them for free. Then send him money to encourage him to make more.

I don't know if that will work, but it is awesome music all the same.

Sleepless

Sleep
Why sleep?
Without sleep sound is soft and muted
Warm words wilt
Sweet suggestions
Fall faintly on my ear

I feel growth, a world of dreamlike statues
Impermanence and uncertainty unknown
Why worry while today becomes tomorrow
Time passes, but only when I check my phone

Then daystar bursts forth and ruins everything.
Ultraviolet burns soft seretonin, like vinegar from wine
To exhausting, exasperating, melatonin.
Then oblivion is the best peace I can find

Good night,
Foul day.


Real Ideal

Dreams are immortal
Humans are not
Love will live forever
While lover's bodies rot

Ideas rob power from you
Grasp firm to what you touch
The intangible is noble
But the price is far too much

Abandon all your dreams
Or they will bleed you dry
Existing on your firm beliefs
They feed, they live, you die

Grimdark


Rain fell from the sky, making things on the ground soggy.

I was on the ground, looking for something.

I looked up at the sky, not expecting to find anything but rain up there.

It was then that I saw it, the rain.

I became a cloud, floating above the cares of the person I was.

Then it was over, a ray of light pierced my chest and I was back in a soggy body, lying on the ground.
