After all, we were young. We were fourteen and fifteen, scornful of childhood, remote from the world of stern and ludicrous adults. We were bored, we were restless, we longed to be seized by any whim or passion and follow it to the farthest reaches of our natures. We wanted to live – to die – to burst into flame – to be transformed into angels or explosions. Only the mundane offended us, as if we secretly feared it was our destiny . By late afternoon our muscles ached, our eyelids grew heavy with obscure desires. And so we dreamed and did nothing, for what was there to do, played ping-pong and went to the beach, loafed in backyards, slept late into the morning – and always we craved adventures so extreme we could never imagine them. In the long dusks of summer we walked the suburban streets through scents of maple and cut grass, waiting for something to happen.

summer is coming

my gaze lingers on the windows for just a little longer,

summer is coming

the birds have began conducting new melodies,

summer is coming, and suddenly, it’s too hot to sleep with the windows shut.

suddenly it’s easier to get out of bed, easier to smile, easier to laugh, easier to cry, easier to grieve, easier to love, easier to live, easier to accept, and easier to relish in the moments between the sun and never ending time.

it’s easy to love summer. i love summer.

i’ve spooled out again, like thread unravelled.

You are with me thinly, the veil barely covers,

but it still blankets over my brain like a soft silk.

Apples are so fucked up you can get two from the same pile ans one tastes more like an apple than anything youve ever eaten and the other tastes like water poisoned by pharaohs

Valentines Day Hangover

[apricottah]

maybe if you take a hot shower. cook something. eat a little soup. feel a little sunshine. make something with your hands—it doesn’t have to be big. maybe if you stretch your body and draw a silly little picture and get some rest, the world will feel like something your hands can still hold

Can you imagine what cathedrals would have been like if the medievals had access to neon lighting?
