seven

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.

    her magenta marker

    the silent clock

    my desk, now darker

    with dust like chalk.

     

    his name in my phone

    my swimming mind

    his teeth were like moonstone, 

    mouth open that night.

     

  • 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.
