chocolate mushrooms

everything feels soft and everything feels warm

and beautiful i just want this feeling to last

forever i am hugged by the air

i can see in the space between them a beautiful

energy of color pulling them together

everything that i have been feeling has been bottled up

for so long and i just love the warm sensation of my

clothes. i am just going to lie for a while. i think 

i begin to care less how close to death i come

because i just want the warmth of this just

for a moment i would do anything and all of

the words grow eyes and watch my pen
