The dead lie organized about me, most of them forgotten by those who carry their blood now. A warm fog has settled itself in. Like an old friend you've lost interest in catching up with. If it weren't for a squirrel running across the flat markers, you'd think time paused life to take a leak. The rain moved out overnight. As if she were looking to escape the ire of an abusive moon. I long to be trapped here, in this moment, like a dried up leaf caught in a whirlpool.

I worry that if I'm ever able to hear colors, orange won't like me.
