hail to the mermaid, the hydra and the mantis, the electric eel and vivid starfish of atlantis, the doorway of perception, cloaked in veils of velvet, the pineal territory, gone but not forgotten, mildly hallucinatory. 
we give praise to the vessels of art and love and forgetting, we travel with companions who betray you with regretting, the flora and the fauna, the hedgerows that rustle, the incubating metaphor on the verge of memory, the spirit of the dear departed that wander through the cemetery.
joy to the pegasus, the satyr and the centaur, in the dominion of the unseen go minions of lemuria, sages and mystics, unfathomable statistics, lost to the tidal waves of time and again, cycles and circles, twisting and turning, the candles are extinguished but the flame is still burning.
