Wisdom & Quotes

• Do you know you live in me bit by bit

Yet there is such a thing as being lovely with you
For instance we drink raki and it is
As if a carnation is engulfing us.
.............
You are bent on that carnation, I take it
And give it to you. You then pass it on
To someone else. And a greater beauty is reached.
- The Gravitational Carnation
