You
cold hard ugly
strong tall bluish
tower

why do you let me be
when you know
that I am breaking.

In the presence of beauty
where it speaks to me
of health and wealth
and tragedy

In the presence of beauty
when it shows me
that storm abates
with energy

In the presence of beauty
I am cast adrift
to find the sunken beauty
beyond the beauty.

I was always told that I should hide crazy
With smiles and wide eyes, shove it under pretty
What I haven't learned is how to conceal heavy
Sorrow and despair, it only enhances lovely.

Let's go have cendol this morning dear?

Let's. (Smiles.)

I remember the trip to the ghost castle, which left all of us trembling with fear. Well, at least two of us were quite shaken. The third girl, she was quite composed about it. And, she was quite cute too.

I wonder if she'll be quite cute too, tonight.

Death
at its best
are
all the things
that it manifests

Death
at its worst
would be
nothing
that can be said with words

Me
at my best
would be me
with enough rest

Me
at my worst
is the second
before I burst.

Have some
perhaps you would want to know
how it tastes like.

"I think I want to live among the dead." He sentenced his thought out loud.

"I think I have one with me now." She said.

"Really? Who is it?"

"It has no name. It's not meant to be named. I think it was the one who went away and came back recently."

"Hm. Are you going to name it?"

"No. It is just it. No name. No face either. Just it. You know? It."

"I don't actually."

"Then you're not ready to be among the dead."

"Well, thank you. Bye."

"Yeah, bye. Take care."

"I will. Bye. You take care too."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye!"

Goodbyes can be awkward sometimes.

My nose is killing me. It's the miserable flu.

In the next door room, cum illegal pharmacy.

"I just had Zyrtec, but somehow it's not working. Do you have anything else that can help?"

"I don't know. What do you want?"

"What about Clarinase? The normal one though. I have the 24hrs Clarinase, but I think that's a bit too strong. I have work to do."

"I think I have it somewhere here..." Going through drawers.

"No, I don't think I have it. What about Actifed?"

"That will make me high or sleepy." (Sneeze.) "But I'll take it!"

"Okay."

"Thanks, and high. I meant, bye!"
