He was a walking flaw; fondling fatal delusions holding diluted passion for a world that lost its magic; “I don’t believe in ghosts.” he would rant to his dead cat that decomposed so he could get over it– “That is love.” Oh he knew, and he believed in ghosts; he had seen one in the mirror– “I listened, I listened! Why would you lead me down a path of vacuous existence. Why does your perfidy perfectly worsen me with every breath, here’s your fucking milk!” He doesn’t seem to ever notice the smell of spoiled memories; The cat doesn’t come–
“The shallow squander, the lonely play dead in a squalid womb. More fucking milk? Where are you shitting, the kitty litter has been empty for months.” His cat is in fact dead, and does not manifest itself again as it was the final form; Like rings of smoke turning velvet neon echoing through a mind; the grand final form left his mind, The smoke had taken over–
His mind was slowly emptying, but thought fought and never faltered; “It’s like– –a bright light; Or just emptiness has befallen me– I am surrounded by limbo– and the ring is getting more constant.” He meant ring, and ring was correct; but he was thinking of diamonds, he was trapped in the glisten and couldn’t listen to the ring; His thoughts were really beginning to slow, the glow beyond didn’t cover the shadows– “The… Shadows?” While this was his only thought, he still knew that he was alone; At least if he pretended there was a cat, that fact didn’t seem true; but now he really wasn’t alone and the ringing was becoming paralyzing–
He no longer felt lonely; he felt invaded, he needed space; the shadows were making moves way to fast– He couldn’t even get committed to a new cat– “Fuck my cat is dead.. I swore it had at least six lives left! Shit, now what?” His daze lifted like vapor of bubbling springs; his body felt a warm presence; The shivering shadows shaking in shriek like movement had screamed into evaporation– “That ring..” It was coming back to him, he looked for the ring; The phone had rung for hours– Passion was calling him, he was now ready to answer; He eagerly picked up the phone as if it would suddenly stop now–
As he proclaimed his love into a receiver, a speaker not far from it echoed his heart; only her voice reminded him of every conceivable place in the universe; Only her love reminded him that he found all these places beautiful–
