Tempests
M/south of the Niger River. what has come over me? i can't tell.
today i hoped to visit the florist but i’m breaking into new shoes. and yes, i promised to walk with you arm locked in arm till we’ve picked out the most cheerful looking bouquet but i can’t, i’m breaking into new shoes. maybe if i limp slightly, shift my weight just a bit — or hop in that way that makes you laugh then, we’d be able to do all the things we’ve always wanted to.

the flower shop conundrum.
yes, there’s death but there’s also the first night after i let her go.

the night after.
steady, steady the waters billow. time has come for me to let down my sails. drifting away in search of myself. where i got lost — i cannot say. but the tempest is calmed and to the waters i must go.

sailing the bermuda.
at dusk, and for a brief moment i sat at the edge of the setting sun a single breath away from unravelling because the universe had conspired against me and the goddess, whom i loved was nowhere to be found.
