Insomniacal thoughts.

Is it that I can't sleep, or that I won't?

I saw an orangutan kissing the hand of a young woman; her hand, and all the way up her arm. I saw a man and a woman in a sensual underwater dance, surrounded by bubbles and sperm whales. I saw a meerkat gently nestled in the arms of a girl. I stood in the Church of the Nomads on Sunday, and worshipped the images and the words that surely came from a source higher than I. I wept quietly in front of strangers, standing at the altar of pure, true art.

Just as he asked, I sprinkled ashes on the snow. A baptism. A light that won't dim.

There is nothing so free and clear as the truth.
