Thoughts of Then


Long past our seasons. I drift along with the river. Darkness, my companion. Cruel is Autumn. Its winds open memory. Tear open stitches to expose old wounds. Not by purpose. Yet, by natural intent. What were we then? All of eighteen. You of tainted...

Further


Shh the lights are low 

But my heart and head explodes

You tried to wipe the surface 

But something lures further
