2.13 in the morning, 2.13.
what if i’ve forgotten how to sleep and all i’ll ever do it sit here with my eyes burnt out and my skull cracked from the pressure of my brain trying to escape and hide someplace warm and safe where there aren’t any bugs or verbs or thoughts what if, for that matter, all of…

hibou.
i don’t know what this is- contentment creeping in around the corners of the bleak and melodramatic knowledge that i’ve carried most my life this will be over soon, tomorrow isn’t anything that’s real and on waking, late, before the sun has even thought of coming by to check in with its ugly cheerful disposition…

It’s been a while. Beloved’s father (who signs his emails, now, love, Dad, which somehow makes me feel a little more okay in a very much not-okay world) mentioned recently that I hadn’t said much lately.

Reminiscing on Late Nights
Late at night, mind burnt from trying to make time and money stretch much further than they possibly can; weary, exhausted from the effort of trying, I stretch out beside him on the bed, my head resting just below his knees, feet angled out away from his head. I need to do the laundry, wash…
