dancing through time on the same wavelength, the same pitch shifting through the same repeating measures, we touched the pulse of beating hearts set to time signatures that we could never understand at all. harmonized to form the same melody, painted in bright violets bleeding into a deep purple enamored in a sea of radiant green. i hold the violets in my hands, i've lost myself to the viridian maze around me and i'm in love.
relapse.
byproducts feeling symptoms of a universe beyond their control...
a blink of an eye turned the world gray. blackened trees dotted the frozen ground like desperate, outstretched, hands. the frigid winds slipped through their bony fingers, and howled across the parking lots, strip malls and highways. it carried coal ground to a powder, a pollen that blanketed the atmosphere and swallowed any glimpse of the gallant blue skies. i saw bodies kept afloat on rivers of petrol that fed oceans of coagulated oil. nobody ever saw them dye their jet black suits on the shores, its blood was the print on their checks, and the plasma in the veins of a planet. you gave us a sweet tooth for comfort and it gave me a cavity. i wanted the smiling faces painted on the smoke stacks to weep. downward stares and stoic faces will stare at the piles of white ash at their feet. i set the rivers on fire, and i cast the bridges ablaze.
reality was a lustrous luminance of dark crimson streaks and violet skies.
