“there is a middle realm which is almost as thick as the whole is. or hole as the case may seem as we spiral up through its icy chasm built from ancestral ideas on life.”

“the sea can be the palimpsest for all words and also tune to set them to and as such this song rises for another voice”

“Where is this time to waste? It’s gone, Dry and brittle the minutes broke free from the tree of time. Now the earth eats the future in sixty second spoonfuls As fast as it can leaving nothing for procrastinators. Nothing for writer’s block to be hammered to. Nothing for when healing is not complete and the bed Is of no comfort nor rest.”
― Kenyatta García, This Sentimental Education
