these days have reminded me of young lovers
of whispered secrets in candle light
of slow dances in the rain
timeless.
a feeling of endless liveliness.
a feeling i hope to never shake.
all because of you.

my sister is gone
and the cat is gone
and my brother is gone
and my mother's been knocked out since noon

following the crumbs
seeing the seamless
opening of doors.

please give me paradise wrapped up in an eternal festival
