last night’s insomnia
is your ‘good morning’

next to that photo on photobooth
is a picture of you and i
with the ‘twirl’ effect

2

there are moments of lucidity / underneath blankets
i don’t care about anything else
the spaces between bodies is a body itself

3

discussing nicki minaj’s a$$

4

burying my face into your neck / there is no one and nothing
outside of you and me / and this bed

5

beneath a tree in regents park when my legs give way
i fall to the ground
you look down at me and laugh

6

this is how i feel: soft rain / calm love
thinking about how the rain reminds me of you / you remind me of the rain
you are like the silences between songs when you realize it is raining outside

7

standing on the steps of the british museum and the sun is out i am always happy when the sun is out i say and when you kiss me i pull at your coat trying to get closer to you than i know is physically possible up on my tip toes your menthol mouth and i don’t mind at all
