i got high and masturbated until my hands were sore a midnight breeze wafting through my room, the smell of incense awash i thought of you, of course i did, your fingertips resting gently on my shoulders kissing my cheek over and over as i turned to an ocean -- it was something in your eyes, the way i could stare into the pupils until i thought i could see through to the bits of you behind your skull; i floated inward, tugged and pulled, back to the place i was born, to the place inside my conscience where everything i've ever known resides.
