Deep stares and tangled hair We gaze into the reflective majestic mirage of a dark forest She is an abnormality in the torrential downpour of spandex covered ass She is the orange glow of tobacco in dismal clouds She is a mystery with indistinct clues of angelic demonism She raised the questions yet to be answered: where be my blue opiate star forever obsessed? where next shall my vessel point? when will I stop searching through wastelands & evergreen down steep hills & uncertain fogs? what is to be found in the bubbling green lagoon of early settlers? what is to be?
