Ode to duende. From resin encrusted bile swallows of rot gut and stagnation sprung a edifying breath of fresh air. As unlikely as this could seem, at a time when hopelessness was the unwaning conqueror, a transmutation of spirit lifted me with unprecedented emotional highs. Re-formulating my brain chemistry, inducing optimism with joy for the future. You are my soul that disintegrates the veil on reality, laying bare the horrific truth made beautiful. Infinite.
