I Wrote It
When the earth fully opens Thick air free range loitering Shades of brown and grey ossilate in the corner of my eye The ceiling fan above my resting head Street lights fight the nights sky so we don't have to As we stay nested in , When everything opens In August

In August
I was on the plateau when it happen. I always hated going under it in the middle of the day. It felt like a mirror; a reflected isomer — too still and too sad to be near. Shadows give that same feeling, but with blurred corners feeling slightly farther away. I prefer going under the bridge at night. Cooler, like sunglasses that you don’t have to put on. The night as a way of saying, “It’s not up to you what you get to see now. I decide what’s important for you. Which is absolutely nothing”.

blood, red
waves are like people no two are alike yet they all end up doing the same thing like the one before it and the one after at their own pace they’ll wait until the perfect time that one that just feels right but when it comes the beach is different tastes have changed because the trends have too
