big sur little sur
I can see it, don’t think I can’t. I can see how I let my words flow like hot lava, and how much you hate it. How oppressive the mornings are when neither of us want to understand each other; too much has been said, too much has torn. You can’t mend all tears in fabrics like ours. Not with a destroyer like me. I need a gentle place to sink my teeth in, not your skin. I want a quiet place to be at war with myself because I’ll never hear the end of it from anyone else. I can see you secretly wishing you never took the chance because now all you want is to escape. No worries, dear, I do, too— so much more than anyone knows.
is it so hard to forgive the way
that we’ve been made to live?

the least that can be said of today
As always, days drop off the calendar like flies and I have less time than is reasonable to get things done. I feel angry for my lack of discipline when it comes to doing what seems to be normal for everyone else. I move like molasses and everyone else is hot oil on a pan, jumping and crackling and moving at the speed of sound.
There is no reset button or way to drag these heavy feet any faster.

daylight is hard
Oh, how I act like I’ve got anything to lose at all.
I haven’t changed a bit
(I make the same mistakes)
pouring rain knows no boundaries
The rain is threatening my complete isolation from today. I woke up this morning like I woke up from a coma; the canoes and highways that led to you were much shorter in my dreams. I nearly drove by that makeshift lake last night, in desperation for the moments I could have had, for the things I am only now beginning to remember. Instead I now have a heart so heavy that I am convinced it could only have been filled with stones.

in absence
How else can I put it? Today feels unabashedly, unprettily heavy. I slowdance with myself because I don’t want to forget how to. Lead lungs and flittering thoughts keep me jealous of every fearless Someone, and I am looking down the driveway for next season to arrive.
