Zero


Who are you? Who are you?

I am Theo.  I live in the sky, I live in your eyes.  I dream of coming down one day.  I dream of coming down to stay.  I dream of little less than the whole fucking entirety of it in my arms.  Of squeezing all of that to my chest; of pressing my face into the folds of skin and hair and sandpaper.

I am a small voice.  We are all small voices. Perhaps I am the smallest. Perhaps not. No matter.

What matters is this.  I write because I am driven to write.  I want words.  I want words written down.  I need them.  I need words like a monk needs peace, like a nun needs cock.

It won't all be nonsense.  It won't.  If one person reads these words, that will be more than enough.  Ah but now I must succumb to the sweet charms of the bottle.  It dozes and drugs me and drags me under, slowly.
