Open
I am down the road and up the hill
I wait for you still
Wires around my fingers
Potentially lovely
Perpetually human
Suspended and open
Open
I am through the woods and past the trains
I wait here in vain
Scrubbing out the stains again
Potentially lovely
Perpetually human
Suspended and open
Open up your eyes and then—
In a night the snow starts falling
And everybody stares
Through their windows at the streetlights
Too beautiful to see
I am in a room I’ve built myself
Four stray walls
One floor, one ceiling
And day after day I wake up feeling
Potentially lovely
Perpetually human
Suspended and open
Open up and up your heart and then…

AH! I’d never seen this one before. I really, really like it (and not just cuz I’m in it). :)

Can I use it as my avatar or something?

It’s what “Braille” was before it wasn’t. I’ve used enough of your shots as avatars/IDs/whatever; do whatever you’d like with it (so long as you’re okay with my being resultantly flattered).

Such a brilliant view contrasts with the state of the building.
