Rijeka Lab :: as above, so below

as he opened his eyes
there they were –
the fears and the failures
waiting for a moment of brightness
Rijeka Lab :: no locks on our doors, no locks on our hearts

scratching the wounds open –
then letting go.
holding hands with a new sister
trying to become quiet –
and then:
don’t apologize for being free.
Rijeka Lab :: head of a list / burning passion
head of a list / burning passion

in between dreams:
dancing before his statue –
impossible to oversleep.
Rijeka Lab :: dry me a river
[dry me a river]

– remember
the black dog
[who comes paddling along the river]
[my] wrecks – engulfed in the landscape.
– an approach from behind
into the characters’ necks.
like a temple –
it could certainly grant one of our most cherished desires –
the unspeakable horrors within.
