Dear Jane
Dear Jane, These past few days have wreaked so much for me in the way of loss and pain. Though I celebrated my daughter Adele’s birthday and much was to be happy for, to be celebrated and enjoyed, as she has made me proud of her studious practice of religion and education, and of her growth in general, there was a tremendous blow.

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, Has there been any developments in your crafting, I’d very much appreciate the opportunity to witness your art in any new or revisited fashion. I know you had put your otherwise fantastical magnum opus aside to create a new work of art, as I was excited by both of those works, but alas I know that your supposed company doesn’t appreciate or compliment your brilliant mind. That truly angers me, and I am a jealous man—-knowing that the false preacher can have you so near and squander his chances at showing affections toward you.

High fever pitch
Itching, like clothes that never fit Fainting, spinning like a top Fever dream, I am a mermaid above the water Waterfall, I grasp onto the waves that cannot hit my lungs

Beauty in flames, Jane Eyre
Dear Jane, Your description of beauty in the pulling and the flames eased my heart as I am happy you are not in pain. That makes beyond happy to know.

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, That intense flame center that is burning and is pulling is like a deep rope tied to your own center. I feel that your intense melancholy for this connection is an agony I feel is incredibly painful and I’m truly sorry for this reason, I truly wish this to assuaged and for you to be happy.

Moon Goddess
Dreams lie in the sewer No, lower than a sewer In the freeze point In a slab of muck and grime They are reconstituted and reformed

Red Dress
It’s a part of him He glides through like a parasol Caught up in a gust of violent wind, On it’s side, the spokes clattering

I see you so excited Your colors look like mine, flipped around and shadowy and perfect, reversed and voluminous and dreamy

We rise
My muse cries moon streaks Mourning river split in half We rise, holding you.
