Sometimes these worries paint themselves in vibrant colors, right behind my eyelids. Sometimes they manifest in the folding-up of old skins, skins that don't quite fit the mood anymore. I want to break open those colors and pour their meanings into the holes chewed open by late nights and red eyed mornings. I want to tuck myself into your side like a barrier against the stones this world might cast at us, I want to run away with you planted like seeds under my tongue, warm and wet enough to grow a life out of, enough to draw roots into this soil and to grow home into these walls. I don't care if the mice chew holes all the way through, I only care about the way your eyes dance over the secrets we've built up together in the warm-stickiness of enmeshed bodies and dreams. Put my anxieties to sleep, we've had enough of those to last us a lifetime. Draw the lifeblood through these walls and tell me dreams do have a place here and that all these things we wrap our skin around can make a home in us for good.
