midnight purple

Midnight Purple is not so deep—

Not here in the city, at least;

Not with the light from the front door, the street,

The deciduous tree line where it meets—

It hazes in a dusky hue,

The kind they might describe to you

As twilight—the normal cloudy blue

Has given o’er to midnight true!

Midnight Purple,

I miss the stars.

on the 40, almost home

I thought I saw a swan by the houseboats

On the northwest side of Lake Union

But we were driving too fast, and there were too many trees

reflecting

There are ways in which my heart has hardened

And ways that I've become even softer than before

 You've Ruined Me For Love

walking home post wellness clinic interview

The iron in the dirt beneath the shade of its trees, the smell of it now makes a home in my nose

i fucking LOVE The National goddammit

The branches are restless and the green leaves flutter and dance in the Alligator breeze, Boxer sun and sky

beginning of Boxer nights

 

There was something about the photo that was unstable. Unanchored. I almost liked it. But without the windowsill, it made me dizzy. No tether.

Ahhhh.

Compass Point by Holy Ghost!

We like it when it hurts / It keeps us bound to to Earth

on probably having to go to urgent care on Easter Sunday

Jesus died and rose again for my sins,

But Jesus isn't covered by insurance

waltzing to violas

I felt desired in a dream

Twice

Held against a familiar body, unfamiliar owner

Belly to belly, head on their chest, hand on my head

Swanning through the room

I am so hungry for that affection to come back to my life

That I will only accept it from someone who feels

Just right

I miss you

The tide pulls in and the wave rises above my head and I am submerged

I miss you
