hermetic life and death
translation of text - truth/false
misinterpretation and integration into society - oddities survive to be great
misanthropism of writing and art

Shitty poetry written about me by someone else (finally!):
I huddle in the shadow of your warmth
and stare at your back with fire stained eyes
and wrap my legs around you, coaxing your thighs with mine
until you turn and devour me with your lips
