I feel detached

 

Floating

 

Fragmented

 

Like I am sea foam,

 but yet to conglomerate to form the goddess of love

 

My particles touching fingertips with starlight and dewdrops and bat thumbs and all the wild places of the night

 

Every time

 

I come so close

 

But I am tethered to this Earth

 

by my own magnitude.

 

Everything around me 

 

is shrouded in mist 

 

and I cannot see 

 

the AZURE ether beyond

 

FOR THE PURITY-

 

the purity that men love...

 

Trypophobia is not an officially recognized phobia.

 

I never knew that el árbol del otoño 

 

was this red

 

Like plastic candy wrappers

 

SLOWLY deforming in your palm

 

Yet there's gray outlining every cluster 

 

from which the leaves are falling.

 

I went to the woods to live deliberately.

 

I went to the woods to live deliberately.

 

To see the beauty, not in the stone itself,but in my face reflected on its facet.

 

Green.

 

But when I arrived, I saw that AUTUMN had already come to these woods.

 

Fall is my favorite season.

 

I hate clusters.

 

They scare me.

Among other things, Thoreau's Walden and the movie The Dead Poets Society inspired me to write this article.
