love death
it's all been done

this is the way the world ends!

and i will. i will write. i will write one word. and follow it with another. and another. soon i'll have a sentence. i will write another one of those. and another. soon i'll have....

and i'm picking some.

Clutter
Clutch
clutter
clut-

As a phoenix fire bird with swords for eyes and knives for teeth.
As a fairy-posey-prosey kissing rose petals and watching snails.

his blood spelled a word :

Broken.
