The clouds stalk the meadow leisurely
The skies changing into a deep, violent gray...

Tender is the bud of the flower growing from the...
When the world felt too threatening, I sealed it...

Buried deep in the cosmos,
Embedded in the Phoenix constellation...

Walking circles over the bricks of Faneuil...
