Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in Starla tastes of strawberries

Without meaning

"These of living emanate a formidable light"

A mockery of this spectrum against rose coloured walls.

Supposed wisdom in the patterns I leave against his knowledge

-this is all I could ever amount to.

 

Repeat it for your love, your pains, you loss.

Repeat it for all its worth; this coil.

It grows ever more bitter with each new prayer

And there is no death to look forward to.

in L2, i read 'coloured' as 'covered' -- just thought that might interest you. I thought the first stanza is better than the second - on the strength of the images and it's more implied angst rather than the clearly defined second stanza.
