Rimbaud
Youth. Through the glass encasement of mystic passion. Grief encased in a sea of green absinthe. Tiger of darkness boiling, take strides against the coming Dawn. Day of Fire and morning of tongues in sweaty blankets. Orange doors into the black Metropolis. Golden cage from which Attila hangs his Cross. Empty birth still in lungs of Hashish.
