i'm trapped inside a glass bottle hoping you'll find me. it's been 3 hours since i climbed in and i'm beginning to think this will be the bad move that will end me.
if i should survive this ordeal i will search for you. n'ery a day passing where i do not think of you. your smile is all that i have left to connect me to any world. i fear everyday i am losing more and more of myself.
yesterday i forgot how many days i've been here and wonder if i have ever been anywhere else. everyday blurs into the next and i fear now more than ever that i have imagined the existence of a place outside these glass walls. still a memory lingers on, a woman i once knew. she smiles through dreams
i blink my eyes and whole worlds die. and in the darkness with the blood of billions on my hands she consoles me.
her smile is all that i need.
today a creature came to visit my enclosure. it was difficult to see exactly what as the prismatic form distorted through. a soft wind will sometimes blow and from the mouth of the bottle whisper the sweetest tone. i think it is the sound of the soul of heaven.
singing. i hear singing, i hear singing.
my lips are very dry now and i no longer move. i drift into the other world and stay there longer. this body is leaving. all the colors grey and a hanging light never departs me.
in my loneliness it comforts me.
where am i? where is this place? .....oh
it is you. who are you?
and she speaks to me and i understand. though she spoke only a smile. it was night and those who sleep slept their eyes.
