(something)

Music never leaves me
lonely, belly-down on the comforter,
not comforted, with

(top shelf)

a can of tea. banana peels.
probiotics. an empty bottle of cream.
a knife, keys, lighters

(Wednesday night)

we detect something
in the ampersand&wiggling light
bulbs, flying squirrels

(the loop is for infinity)

(need)

We are craving velvet
sunshine, wet leaf-licks, like lace,
like blood-blossoms blooming

(old mattress)

We will not give counsel
to our fears. We will eat candy.
We will go hiking.

(reminders (in links))

Stop glorifying
busyness. Control becomes
rigidity. Breathe
