Laughter

white lips
split like shattered procelain
eyes dead
where has he gone?
the sweet dream whisperer
gifter of madness, supreme and sublime
stale smoke
tasting of withered mother's teats
suffocates and deludes
wind, eternal wind
blow me away
I am not of this place
I am lost and the sun sets
and sets and sets
