Laughter.
Loud laughter booming off the empty walls.
The crash of glass against wood.
Golden liquid spreading onto lacquer.
We try to lick it up like cats.
Saucers of milk for all.
Everything in a purple haze.
Unclear and distorted.
Perpetual water over the eyes.
Twist the world into impossible shapes.
Laugh at the air.
Pierce nothingness with bounding sound.
Smoke rising from incense.
Eyes watering in a cover of gray.
Coughing.
Sputtering.
Red and gold on brown.
Creaking steps.
A stumble.
A fall.
A crash.
Stillness punctuated by laughter.
One beside the other.
One inside the other.
One outside the other.
Sleep.
Temporary dreams for one.
Eternal sleep for the other.
