    when you cannot stop his words from running over and over and over in your mind like a treadmill that won’t turn off, you have no control over your heart anymore. the truth is that you are lost and the way he breathes sounds too familiar to be a coincidence

    impressionable. easily swayed. the power of a word, a suggestion murmured in passing, planted like a seed, a mine.

    the fruit of life
    to my
    lips

    i still love this one.

    In reply to - eleven wrote about the word beloved and it’s like screaming and crying and calling out from the back of an old pickup truck full of used ammunition. and he says “baby, what color is the sky?” (and i can’t answer, because it’s still all black&white haze today, and kid that’s not a color.) • View

    new eyes for new sights
    wearing 3d glasses on a flat plane and
    i’m all awake, wide awake, taking it all in
    like i’ve been sleepwalking this whole life.

    dissected;
    torn apart limb by limb and laid out delicately
    like an insect,
    creepy crawling little things they were.

    if i had a time machine i’d

    strong and confident and happy in the glory of adulthood,
    whether i was cashier at wal-mart
    or king of the fucking world.

    many old schools and i hated

    filled with sloshing whiskey & we drunk ourselves silly on top of the hill but felt on top of the world & and i swear we were never going to end. our yells would echo on forever and someday, our great-great-great-grandchildren would come here and smell the scent of cheap alcohol and the good ol’ [...]

    coated with dust and time and hellos and goodbyes. fire-hydrant red and wood-backed. there’s a rickety lamp hanging above the table, and a lipstick mark on the glass that seems etched in forever. “get me another glass,” says a stranger in a trenchcoat. “i’ll have one of those, too,” you tell the waitress as she [...]

    rust and dust. faded sepia photographs — which is silly because who prints out photos anymore in the age of digital everything? wistful; you’ve got a nostalgia filter spread over your eyes and it’s killing you. i’ve forgotten everything because memories aren’t tangible and if you can’t see it, if you can’t feel it — [...]
