(with music) TOPICS: needing to be alone, the arts of letting go & asking & giving without expectation, the art of hello without expectation of return, despair, pain, desire, hugging a fire, dreaming of warmth, visiting cold dead ground and windswept cliffs, feeling like broken glass, paranoia and marijuana and other mind-altering things, always being afraid of stepping out of line and 'the man' coming to take me away, mask-related harassment and fears and symptoms, a desire for release from these last demands and cages, preparing to fly fly away, hoping to leap into (or possibly build) a better world & life and live in harmony and flow with it rather than at odds and hounded by it. But also longing for a pile of literal hounds to rest under. Drowning in a sea of puppy love, where everyone would love to drown. Except cat people, I expect.
