You would be happy not to change your mind
I can’t defend you truly
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire"

May 28th | 66 "if an ocean separated us
i would ask of you
to go down to beach
on a warm evening
at the lowest ebb
and take off your clothes
and lie on your back with your legs outstretched.
think of me as the tide coming in
as the waves lap your thighs
and cover your belly
and work their way up every inch
of your skin until they touch your lips
with my salty kisses
and you drown, my sweet one,
in the current of my love."
