i. poem to the girl with the empty house:
chipped nails, grey sky, band-aids, garden that never blooms, scuffed shoe, pet cat, altars, broken mirror, summer dress, rose shampoo, half-read books, mint, prayers in the dark, seabird, afterimage, trinkets, candlelight
ii. poem to the man enslaved by time:
cold sea, old scars, chapped lips, cigarette, forest fire, hades himself, tears from woodsmoke, worn and old jacket, long fingers, tousled hair, city lights, diesel and pine, hands in pocket, clocks that stopped, razor burns, portals to nowhere, unfinished song
iii. poem to the boy who learned how to pray:
skin smells like sun, mountain, pilgrimage, empty fields, shrine, bath soap, footprints, steady hands, rough t-shirt, dirt, half-wishes, offerings, incense, forbidden, penitence, gritting teeth, sacrifice, motorbike exhaust, calloused heels, on the edge
iv. poem to the girl who doesn't know when to leave:
dream, nameless flowers, glare from the sun, prism colors, dragonfly, photo album, solstice, fresh laundry, candy store trips, smiles, wonder, helping hand, beach day, strawberry, creaking floorboards
v. poem to the boy in the picture on the altar:
sea through window, warm wind, autumn trees, memory, tired hands, laughter, scarf, Sunday morning, caramel, bus rides to nowhere, crumpled letters, paper cuts, last wish, seaglass, yellow, blade
vi. poem to the girl caught in between:
soft ghost, dust motes, tired eyes, chapstick, wind through hair, rain puddles, sea spray, glance, forest opening, tree shadows, perfume, frost and icicle, thin pale wrists, smoke, winter sunlight
