About Me



I like to blink up at the knickers of trees taller than I.
How else to will?
How else to grow?

Can I seek out the forgotten,
can I prop up small?

Can the buzz that surrounds us be wholesome and real?

The light that comes in, can it be ours to keep?

I've made up my mind. I've made up my mind--
to un-make my mind....

Show me your weird and your unafraid!

R Refined

E Eccentric
B Brutal
E Exquisite
C Crazy
