My pills to make me remember are making me forget. So...I forget when I need to remember. I am twin silhouettes stitched into the fabric of a vanishing mind. One draws breath from the future, the other exhales the past.

The Backroom of the Velvet Circuit. 🕴️
🎭Meet...The Gentleman! A dapper cloaked figure, dressed in a pinstripe suit and a black mask, sits at a poker table in a dimly lit, smoke-filled backroom, surrounded by anthropomorphic robots. The table is littered with stacks of chips and half-empty glasses of whiskey. The scene is lit with dramatic lighting and a gritty, vintage aesthetic. The style is inspired by art, with intricate details and a touch of nouveau elegance...Cinematic, filmic, a masterpiece.

Dance, though Mountains loom in the distance...
In 2013, I heard Gladys Knight sing this song for the first time. I googled the title and Lee Ann Womack's version popped up. I listened to it...it was wonderful, as Lee sang beautifully, and her daughters danced.

Leila, the mother of the child...swears on an unbroken circle of salt, with sugarplums and purified water for sustenance within the circle, that when Starr was born, all the heavenly bodies aligned to become one great big star...pointing the way to her celestial name.
