Fortune in a Fist She will not rage because there is no right, choke it all down, swallowed whole inside. Licking her wounds like a cat in the night, the moon carves a crescent on her wrist. shadowing the empty fortune in her fist, she will curl up, scratched, in her mountain nest.
No Navigation Dazed inside infinite doorways of doubt, no no no, it can’t be, it’s not her, she’s me, I am her. The compass is pulled apart, broken down. Navigation is a cruel mess in this town, where everything is only what you want to see, what you want it to be.
