Zywa Fission fungus

Leave me alone
until I'm human again
and pretend

you didn't guess
didn't say out loud
what I'm keeping secret

: the fission fungus
that tears everything
in two in my head

I am done for, I can't
exist anymore, I'll go crazy
or become zombie

I know
you don't want it
you don't want to say goodbye

Come into my arms
my thirst cannot be quenched
and you must live on

Zywa Little stones

Every day I put little
stones in my blood
to slow myself down
to what people consider normal

but they have no idea
of the wings I had
the happiness and celebration
that life can be

There is so much to enjoy
when I am light with
open pores and a spacious
body, every cell vibrating

to caresses and music
the finest flavours and sunniest
colours, everything is a miracle
and I shine day and night
