ex-static memories Do you remember being home alone, opening all your windows and all your doors, listeningex-static memories by ~breatheinwater
to the rain?
(trying to figure out why a strange boy from a strange movie was watching a plastic bag)
(dancing in the wind?)
I remember
everything
I remember stepping off a train and seeing a stranger;
such a familiar stranger
I remember looking for plastic bags on windy days
and waking up every day with reasons to wonder at everything
Is that what people mean, when they tell me life grows grey?
At some point:
past overpowers present;
any comparison to that orange juice after school will fail,
and we spend all our time searching for th


no such thing as a paradox She's worn at both ends-no such thing as a paradox by ~breatheinwater
her single side catching the sun
bone to skin to hair and back again
she's trying to tan and just getting burnt,

As I drive through this desert I stare

to the smell of you wrapped
in dirty tendrils of my slept-in
hair as the sheets stick
to my legs by a thin sheen
of sweat. you, all cheap cigarettes
over a misty post-thunder morning

into the space we once occupied.

of our breaths still intwined as the sun
scours the valley of its shadows
and prismatic over our closed eyelids
erupts into glorious dawn. sometimes
i feel it in the lazy daydream that is you
back again for more, legs swung
over the edge of the bed, coffee
cradled so
