The Goddess & The Green Man

 

The Goddess & The green Man

lilac scent your soft lips open

sage buds without any question I say yes

spirited away. better use a fairy catcher this month power 

woodruff carpet the moment I know I'm yours

behind the glass door finding back the stolen milk

A Nightmare of Childhood

A nightmare of childhood

the one-eyed doll opens her dark red lips for a scary smile — nearer and nearer — I can feel her breath at my cheeks and the only eye makes me wait like a rabbit for the badger


Zoomzeman's fiddle tones
while our rocket
flies past the moon
