Literature Text
i remember when you took my hand and
slipped me into a world alone
slipped me into a world alone
i shake the gravity from my hair and dip
into the shadow of baking clouds and
inverted meteor showers
a creamy apricot sunset surfs over
still-silenced flesh and quenches quells
them before erasing them from existence
we're sunken like the houses in which we
creep, bracing the hearth against fading spirits

it was getting dark already
and there was still a long way to go
and yet there was no rush
and we talked about the stars
I remember; It was by the sea
