What does the world look like to you?
Is it big, is it small and do you feel big or little?
Are you sometimes afraid?
Does it sometimes hurt you, this small or big world?

and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.

A Coffin — is a small Domain,
Yet able to contain
A Citizen of Paradise
In it diminished Plane.

I am officially drained, overpowered by life.

This was my place a couple of days ago.
At a lake, there’s nothing to complain about.

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
