Extramundane
to the heavens organized
a beauracratic mosaic

Blair Witch Chair
once again
returning in mind
to that chair from it
in the park returned

perched its jowls there

are you tired too
hindering
for your own
means
- wooden,
private and
reduced
to
indecipherable
runes
not sure
if i did
whether
you
could
dethrone
