"THE BLOOMING GATE"
Illustration by Narisofka + poetry by Ben Flouer collaboration

“Out of the drops sprung new lifeFlowers bloomed as the sky became nightIt doesn’t stop there, oh no not nowStill so early, what will this world allow?Mists of spray cans tagging the sightsReaching new places, discovering new heightsIn the shadows emerge lights dark & brightThey dance & glow beneath the twilightAs art appears in pictures, words & soundsThe footprints left suggest there’s more to be foundThat cave still looms with things unknownIt could be dangerous or it could be home..The DUDE knows the struggle is realYearning deeply for that chance to feelThe risks are worth it, saying to himselfDetermined not to be a forgotten book on some lonely, dusty shelf”Ben Flouer
