"The dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest" - BTS


1. down

like ashes, burning ashes

crashing to the ground, worlds blurring amidst a field of roses,

with baskets of lace and buttons and candies 

and then and then -


2. in love

with the girl

who runs with the wind 

in midnight jeans that squeeze her thighs,

now a woman  

who speeds on a Harley

as if she could pass time even though her eyes

are broken records that scratch against

the dull vinyl of her laugh. 


3. alone

with a half-empty

glass of rosé

and liquid ecstasy,

slumped against the cold marble of the bar -

falling asleep only in dreams.
