Lonely soul seeks society
at Closed doors
Sharp edgess
Cold metal
Injury to try
Death not to try
Then success and close the door
Corners sharp and metal cold
The corners are not sharp inside

Cyclic Existence
Sweat drip off the nose
Locked feet churn the pavement back
Hungry lungs push and pull
Spin tires
Sweat drip off the nose
Locked feet churn the pavement back
Hungry lungs push and pull
Spin tires
Cecile
Blessing sweet thy brow meet
Angles engirth thy day replete
Sun adieu thy day complete
Pillows soft thy sleep greet
Rising sun thy miracle repeat
