hidden scent
parched petrichor
blued tuberosa

“if I’m a fruit what would I be?”
“strawberry?”
“how? why?”
“they, like yourself, are from the rose family”
“I’m good to look at but prickly when someone gets close is it?”
“affable but also cantekerous”
“qua definitione”

dried blood
whale oil
broken lighthouse

“andromeda never asked for it”
“the sea doesn’t really care”
“sadly there’s no flying horse and gorgon’s head to the rescue”
“cetus swallows the world whole”
“while cassiopeia gets dubbed in the sky”

hidden ruins
faded memory
secret window

“speak friend and enter”
“is that a lotr reference?”
“do you prefer ‘abandon all hope ye who enters here’?”
“am I your Beatrice? or better yet, Virgil?”
“the longing for the never belonging”

there will always be a lighthouse
in gloom of the modern sehnsucht
