Prelude
The self that we create to think is a separation
A timeline that we evaluate
(
such as the the six of cups:
six - the divine feminine itself
- the feminine that creates and lives
the creation
the Genesis perpetually rewinding
)
Figure One: Ophelia Lain in The Lake
The lake never existed
The mud was invisible blood; stupor from a life unlived
Lying is such a complicated concept
: we lie to rest
: same as above
: same as above
Interlude
We’re perpetually resting from the one we were
To become the one we want to be
We’re perpetually lying to rest from the one we are now
Not to become anything in particular
A woman is always two :
the reason why we understand oneness so well
And we’re three
: as long as I have someone to become, my sense of self might as well be
Act Two – A Soliloquy: If I see what I’m doing, I’ll construct
The intersection of the sun is where he crosses me
It lasts but a day
Next we already lost a few minutes
The sun kills any hope for a darkling love
It will makes us overthink the speed, the holes, the possibilities
And all will enter the door of what shouldn’t be
The sun will be hiding from the dark on this side
He will be hidden on the other side by the sun
And the end of the equinox will make everything fall
And pomegranate seeds are red in autumn
And pomegranates are redder when they fall
And I fell
And everything was red
Overture
There were two selves
One is the one I didn’t chose and she doesn’t know she exists
She’s there, writing about enlightenment in the age of time
But I am one self
I chose
I chose the thrill
I chose the fall
I chose petite sensations
A dark walk in the nether hall
Every thing that is holy to the one who lives in the wrong way
A mortal love, an infernal love
Encore: A meaningful lie is what holds every thing together
