Let us leave
like lemons the dull history of our past,
the frank smells of our brother's flesh.

that you forget: twisted miles of dreams
that were once lived by us all. Tell me now
that you believe in how we got here. Fast
it so just disappears that it can't be found
in your head.

Candy

Crystal Falls like tears or leaves that beat down on the ground. The earth that just sucks it up. Like three licks on a Tootsie Pop you always Crunch right down to the center.
