The chaos swirled, consuming all –
And Oblivion, my worth.

Invisible opportunity stairs
Flight fate fashioned
Masked mental wares.
Past existential roots
Accrue manipulative motif
Extant present imputes.
Futuristic intents allure
Remote eternal sanguinity
Time track obscure.

I leave…
But…I come back — again. Again
I’ll return
through time’s opening doors,
…Fleeting through peripheral halls
— their floors — so well cleaned

Little brothers warmthWhen I was locked behind the bathroom door,
since I didn't wanted to face what I was made for,
