Melancholia
What if it happens?
And how should it happen?
What if it doesn't happen?
My brave heart is hiding in the thorn bush.
Why am I or must I be?
The blue air weighs heavily.
The thin, delicate ribbon torn.
How does the frog find his way to his childhood pond?
Time trickles through my fingers like sand.
Will tomorrow be like yesterday?
A thick fog obscures my vision.
But everything has an end, only the sausage has two.
I'm making art!
