Slow and supple, strained
Beyond limits imposed by

Crying to a dead god,
Wondering why their eyes bled.
She told me that I was special,
Filled with stuff that made
others angry. And what
Kind of gift, I asked, would
That be?
Concentrate till everything
Is Indigo, she replied,
For nothing is what
It seems.

Be fat or thin, be wise or fool
Upon the roof or in
