Literature
i don't know how the house burnt down
hello darling, it’s that witching hour again
across the moor, we see a fairylight
and the scent of kerosene is in our clothes
i may be holding matches but
i don’t know how the house burnt down
and we didn’t mourn our losing lives
insomuch as our losing things
photographs of my mother
your grandfather’s cooking pots
the sweatshirt you stole from me
for unseasonably cold atlanta afternoons
yet you and i are the worst kind of romantics
because we’re always so entranced by the beauty of what’s failing
that we’re not noticing the house burning down
Oh,
little godless girl
you talk like
the roots
of your powerhouse
are showing through
your teeth—
you’re no nymph,
or autotroph
breathing &
surviving off
your own carbon
dioxide.
It’s been 64 hours
50 minutes, &
33 seconds
since this whole thing
started
& you’re already falling
apart.
You left your skilless
tongue
in the waste basket
by the bed,
your limbs
spread &
weeping
in the alley.
You are your own
flailing masterpiece
& by definition
your work deserves
no title.

Hi guys!
Starting to do some things, photography based. Really into the idea of exploring sexual psyche! Some interesting topics have been imparted onto me by some friends that i've been considering capturing. Anyway, as usual, things are quite boring, getting into retro colour grading, seems to be the latest craze though doesn't it?
Useless update, over and out.
