This is kinda cool. Found it in an old binder. It’s dated November of 1999. That means I had just turned 17, so forgive any horribles, ok?

Snowblind
I’m twisted
I’m losing my faith
I’m falling so far
I can’t get away

Wrinkled time
conspires against me.
The liquid clockwork
voice moves to
dance with me.

moving in directions
that I could

black butterflies fluttered
through the night sky
i stood facing destiny
in the cold, dark wind
i reached and grabbed
one by its wings
the black powder-life
came off on my fingers
and left my little
insect kin flightless
he flopped, mindlessly,
across the wet pavement
i only wanted to embrace
his beauty, but instead
i have taken his [...]
