Weigh it down to light it up.

Brightly fringed orange clouds violently swallow the sky. Nobody saw this coming. Who knew lighting stuff on fire could potentially burn them? It’s a muggle world.

A small butterfly merely flutters fearfully from behind the monstrous light giant to make her way through. She slowly descends and frantically flaps her monochromatic purple wings across the wide horizon. She can’t make it far for the purple is quite short, isn’t it? She passes a big marshmallow gently tidying up a smaller one for its first day to school.

The little fluffy creature is on its tiptoes but can still barely reach the windshield. He sweeps a stick through its hair, gently pats his pants for they were ironed off in a rush and are still too warm for him, and rechecks his bag for the umpteenth time.

“It’s all a moo point, son. Nothing matters, you’re just a clumsy ‘mallow!”

A beautiful cow lies carefree and underneath a brown blanket, resting peacefully. She snores quitely, being cute until it turns out she’s just an old canine. An experienced one at that too. She’s seen wonders, all monotonous amazing things! Suddenly a motorcycle whirs off, and the little puppy is awakened from her deep slumber.

“Hush little baby, it’s alright. Mommy is sorry, you sleep the rest of the night away.” And surely the caressing hand on her back makes all happy again and she dozes off…

Splish splash. Why is water so noisy? It shouldn’t be. I’ll make sure of it. But its so clumsy, escapes everywhere! Enters through the nose and reaches all up in your brain until the books are floating around in it and so are the dear and clear people. Then it gets to the eye and pours out like ugly blood from a menstruating woman, who never sees any purpose or poetry. She knows everything to be an oppressor and so weeps like an unkempt, pathetic child.

No one saw to it and so the splinters are all inside the mouth now. They aren’t lit though, so don’t worry yourself, although they previously were. But well who listens to the past when the stupid red clouds are so overbearing and ready to burst anytime? It’s meant to be.
