for an epitaph riddle solved over many deaths

for a truth gleaned from adversarial fragments of perspective

for putting creatures to work in the mines

for getting pissed on and stepped on with no regrets

for a most poetic illuminated manuscript

for an uncontrollable proliferation of mushrooms

for plumbing the sensory depths of the body

for an epiphany on the bliss of ignorance

for the melancholy of potential unrealised

for dysfunctional homesteading and naked creatures in the woods

for a rock opera biography of a historical weirdo

for a fast talking smart alec slinging cards and chasing babes

for a tortured angel, yanked along by the leash of life, ready to burn it all away

for audience participation in the resurrection of a character

for a tale of primeval forces, unknown, uncaring, and unearthed

for dragging your partner up a very long staircase

for a little guy going out into the world

for life from the perspective of the fungal and the connected
