Mar 2014
I had three requirements:
a beautiful song
a beautiful place
and only one person
with me
(because I wanted intimacy)

but intimacy is more than just solitude
or shared silence
with another soul

intimacy
is a warm cloth
weaved
by people who
love you,

I realised.

And so we
sat on the floor
and inhaled
out of a fragile
broken mechanism

and watched
the stars
try to disappear.
