My name is Legion. For we are many.

About Me

Words, pens and paper, loud music, idly ambitious. Fatigued regularly.

My Interests

the last cigarettes are smoked, the loaves are sliced, and lest this be taken for wry sorrow, drown the spider in wine.you are much more than simply dead: I am a dish for your ashes, I am a fist for your vanished air,the most terrible thing about life is finding it gone.

I'd like to meet:
