we sat up high and watched the sun set,
the boats dock, and the impending darkness creep upon us

we sat up high and watched the sun set,
the boats dock, and the impending darkness creep upon us

nails and pins,
thumbtacks and sharp glass,
love, hate and pointed words,
needles, nettles and stingers,
truths and lies

sometimes silence feels like a warm embrace

absinthe
rainstorm
snapdragons
sun tea
barcelona
bóta
graphite
ancestor
amber
arsenic

on a misty morning, i was missing you–
but you were miles and miles away

birds, butterflies and ladybugs,
cicadas, moths, bees, wasps and bats,
ideas and airplanes,
dragons, dragonflies and dreams

the wind blew the buds from the bushes,
blew the rain horizontally,
blew the cobwebs from the balcony
and the fear from fragile minds

some questions have no answers

the thunder rolled over the hills as the rain pelted us with fat water bullets, bending and suspending themselves like wet, safety nets

it wasn’t what you said, it was what you didn’t say
