1 " because we'll someday achefor any regular sunday in junewhere the sun was a surething and breath tasted like warmgrass and there was not a singleindication the cosmos would oneday shut like your eyes, tightwith pleasure. "
― Savannah Brown , Sweetdark
2 " i don't mean to project, but i'm pretty sure we're theonly two people on this wretched planet who aren't on firesowhy catch? it's so dangerous out there--why go? we have everything you could ever needin here. "
3 " i want to be your girl, in the same way you hold the glisteningbody of mars in a telescope's lidless eye and say she belongsto you; swivel the lens and she's gone in the dark, thirty million miles away and blushing. "
4 " after the yellow hours offer their timidought-to's we invent a new twistedcollection of sounds that fold themselvesinto the wooden nooks, different wordsfor the same shriek:we were here, so far from death. "
5 " chaos wants for no one but i was released, and for a time, survived. "
6 " pinned here, find recurring dreams, conspiracy theories, their answer when i asked them to take me to the worst day of their life and describe the color of the sky: sapphire paint and human hair and the rosetta stone. can i worship what's mine? this is the problem. i move onto folding moments into catacombs, as if there are any noble or artistic ways to display the curse of yearning.
