cracking wood
devouring bamboo by the tonne
lazily sleeping
— the panda
frantic digging
pouring love into every plant
sweating profusely
— the gardener
oblivious wandering
striding through the garden
maintaining the illusion
— the emperor

me sitting at the computer
me trying to concentrate
me in a room with people constantly talking
me at another's desk
me trying to explain something
me surrounded by ongoing discussions
me reading my e-mails
me trying to get things done
me in an environment of loud noises
me finally at home
me trying not to collapse
me exhausted from being at the office

a life gone by
in this state
in-between
seeing straight
quite impossible
everything's hazy
nothing is clear
like a wall
of cotton candy
needing time
to disappear
In the heat of the night
sweat on my brow
feeling my might
the moment is now
Whisper sweet nothings
in my lovers left ear
I hear a low huffing
the moment is near!
The stars were so right
but we had no such luck
in the heat of the night
it was too hot to fuck
unrelenting force
deep seated urge
need to devour
hunger for more
never staying satisfied
always searching
to feel the high again
only to begin anew
ding-dong
counting the strikes
twelve o'clock
— church bells
purr purr
ever going in rounds
pooing everywhere
— pigeons
fold by fold
winding through
a dark space
like a snake
picking up everything
that crosses its path
needing a lot of energy
to build and unbuild
its vast network
nothing happens
without its input
and direction
constantly talking
but never listening
to its own advice
dead eyes
hungry mouth, shambling walk
rotting flesh
— Resident Evil
barely holding together
triggering panic with every sound
attacking on sight
— The Last of Us
in cooperation with a rhyming snail
pumpkins and turnips
where the blaze
did the light go?
without Jack
it's pitch black
and no soul
to be seen
ah, here you are
I found you at last
now I can be on my way
and roam the land forever more
