the rogue elephant.
Instead, the fading steps
of a man, following his dog.

Roger Moore - d. May 23rd 2017

that you would always

hiding out

of my childhood.

Robert Miles - d. May 9th 2017
I’m in the queue
for a club called Dreamland.
Dancers a thousand deep,
blissed out and young again,
wait for the piano,
the eternal breakdown.
