Imagine
A panorama. -
- The night sky, the morning sun.

Imagine.
A forest of trees and creeks.
Of brooks and rivers and lakes and streams.
A bed of rocks to lie on and look up at the starry sky from.
It flows.
It's endless.

Imagine.
Why can't you see the stems the leaves the endless sea of greenery
the root the plant you know I can't hold on to this much longer
the rocks beneath the cotton shirt below my back
and the stars they laugh they taunt and sway
you know today is my time to say goodbye...
and the woods and water will join my slaughter as my breath begins to fade...
And one more sigh...to drown, to die.

Hallo Ma. Hallo Pa. No worries, I'm only in me bath. I'm goin' out with a girl tonight.

Wish me luck.
