i woke up in the sand and saw the burning hillsof burial mounds, smell of children's hair in flamesover the sunken horizon i stood here in the ashes of broken cavitiesalmost beaming too hollowto needto be call greedy for crumbs crumbs of twisted liesa feast with hidden razors to sharpen my tongue,  dried saliva hanging doe eyes ignite, sparkle dot inside a dead tunnel  as i hold a never-ending grieving heartpounding like mother beside my eardrumsignoring the spirals from all the forever blind eyes

i'm being devoured by every memory i've ever hadlike Alice in Wonderland drowning the room out.a strange stillness. if you incline your ear toward me,you could hear the tranquillity of the flow.colours fading into waves,iridescent blue snapsuntil saltwater anesthetizes my lungs. i effortlessly swallow myself down.only eyes talkingit's silence. (they whisper too softly for anyone to hear)

Because of its unique whimsical yet dark universe, that movie would forever have a special place in my heart and my every year halloween comfort movie.   I'll be diving into what makes the movies so loving.  Rewatching it each time hit harder, the storytelling and the visuals are so on point, blending perfectly the beauty with horror really making it…
