		<description><![CDATA[we live on a half-lit stage, a concrete platform.. waiting it&#8217;s grand appearance, it&#8217;s ultimate performance.. dark &#38; light, kissed infinitely by the sun. day becomes night, night into day- the anticipation of change, of an end, or a beginning. the cracks in the walls take their last breath, a soft exhale of tired days&#8230; we live in a dream of exploding hearts and hot streets. -eileen garcia]]></description>
