Here: I've forgotten how the lakes freeze over. How the cold wears you, how the snow strips us all from the same tree. How breathing is breaking through the clouds. How I was never ready. Strange, from above, how the white of the world is an iris waiting to erupt. There is so much turbulence and yet not a single vein brings blood. How the highways snake like veins, how this is nothing like a car crash but a prayer to God. How I was crashing next to the sea. Sleep soft, sleep violent

It begins in the same way it ends. It was love in all the ways it was not.
Here: I've forgotten how the lakes freeze over. How the cold wears you, how the snow strips us all from the same tree. How breathing is breaking through the clouds. How I was never ready. Strange, from above, how the white of the world is an iris waiting to erupt. There is so much turbulence and yet not a single vein brings blood. How the highways snake like veins, how this is nothing like a car crash but a prayer to God. How I was crashing next to the sea. Sleep soft, sleep violent
