what's for breakfast?

I undoubtedly reside in this asylum

half crazed, criminal, and self destructive

which is more of an illusion?

my house, or my home?

when did this wanderlust of inner landscape become a desperate rummaging for asylum?

It happened last night while we were sleeping.

I am still dreaming

the hearth is smouldering

The one task that is not to be delegated

For when no one is there to know who you are

it will be the only light to bring you back.

No need to stoke the fire just yet,

it is perfect for cooking

the only question for now is...

what's for breakfast?
