In her final moments from her hospital bed Fay smiles & recalls her years, when she was beautiful & loved by everyone; the 1940's star of stage & screen.
With her final breath she feels no pain, she knows that soon she'll be dancing once again among the stars

Sometimes when noise

Inside the troubled mind

Thrives on every fear

Prayers for peace

Are answered

And for that stay of freedom

The quiet

The stillness

Enables the soul to sleep

to go with people's clothes
will they make one for
the funeral parlour
called
gone
with death stenciled
on the nose

As the sun's rays against waves
Secrets of Poseidon's
The storm it braves
Neptune's fancy
a dream that beckons me
The bitter taste of an illusion...
...the illusion that I am free...

DORA

...with her cobalt colored hair— was fly and true to her ’ghetto roots’ like a banjee girl on the run—she mastered the art of having fun. Her & charm ebb & flow with widened eyes—like dancing that passionately flies.✍️🏽#vss365

The world outside my door came alive, dim sparkles popping madly on surfaces like water in a frying pan. I prefer such afternoons that were louder than dreams, pieces flying petal to petal, perfuming the air.

Dropped at midnight

W/ moonlight decorating his shoulders in faded blooms, he lifted the lid. There was but a small gate at the bottom. He imagined what it could be hiding—until a gentle melody & yesteryear's sunshine.

The surrounding pulse rocks me gently. My host still breathes.
I breach the of my pod's walls. They crack as I break free.
Mother God tree's design is wise and
My conscience is clear - my host will die.
