Leaves are splattered ink against the creamy blue, neutral wash of sunrise.   You elsewhere, sated, tousled, celluloid dreaming flickering lids. Arms stretching, re compose. I elsewhere, awake between walls. Hearing life's details, wary daylight's subterfuge.     By downloading files from this site, you agree to our Terms and Conditions
