GR 177 - 180, 183 - 191

[Bled Welder]

177 - 180
Hansel and Gretel, the Germans dropped a rocket, the main sequence of Western magic as the Qlippoth, Shells of the Dead...., the coincidence of maps, girls, and rocketfalls has entered him silently, but in a culture of death, certain situations are just more hep to the jive than others--but they're apart so much...., how the bloody hell can he survive without her?, I'm no loger surewhich of all the words, images, dreams or ghosts are "yours" and which are "mine", we're both being someone new now, someone incredible...., You're catching the War, Don't leave me....
