I like so many songs that it's almost impossible to choose a favorite, but I do love "Seven" by Taylor Swift. The dreamy, wistful lyrics and soft melody take you back to a summer memory from early childhood--a memory that has been torn and blurred, but is still there nontheless, in the form of sweet tea settling on your tongue, of folklore passed on through generations. It tells of a love between two friends who dream of running away and being pirates and escaping all the hardship in their young lives, as wild and free as they every will be.

wanting, without direction
today's air tastes like berries
and overused metaphors. the shadows run
across golden ground, and i look
at our old stone wall like they would in farmers' days.

Forever Hold Her Peace
inspired by "Roselily" by Alice Walker
Someone has painted smog across the sky
And made her hands soft–
No more sewing needles or thorny flowers

There is nothing like the floating feeling of trying to do pilates in socks and listening to Cigarettes After Sex as your knees scrape against the carpeted floor and the almost-black almost-night clings to the windows.
