prismacoward translations
By sIo
brail and i'm still listening
can't see the sides of
these mountains
fingertip toothless
i've got a helluva a bite
but barking's never entertained
my lips so much
as silence.
this hike is much steeper
pitter pattered and clutched
deeper
craned and peering
through the cloudless
blue
wonder when i'll feel
like breathing
held out this long
may as well enjoy
the violet

The pie tastes great, so sweet that despite the richness you force yourself to finish. Now I sit back, and I just want to dwell on it for the next whenever, and I will. As strong as ever. +tpu+
