I walk the edge of fine golden scrollwork
My eyes too dazzled to see the end coming
I crashed into a hairline of ice
Skidding off the edge
Swimming upwards
Through shards of rainbow-flavored glass
Head bobbing through fairy floss clouds
Flopping on a twinkling translucent diamond sand beach
Wriggling through inch by inch
With Broken arms and tied-up legs
Emerging from my glittering Chrysalis
Only to fly up toward the sun and find
A golden spiral waiting for me to alight upon its slender line
Replaying the shine in my eyes as I recline in pure bliss

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Wow! Such a wonderful piece, K.B.
This was very striking, very beautiful and lyrical. Really liked the deeper aspects of it, that were not marred by the wordplay! Well done, KB!
