Darling Radical

up late

an echo in the back of the brain

con cave

scratching on the skin of something great

the pain must be delayed

although the fog covered the better half of the treeline in my window, i was convinced i would see you if i stared longingly enough. this was where i spent weeks on end, waiting for you to appear betwixt the willows. sometimes i would get derailed by a woodland creature or some new war of words being waged over the waves in the air, but i tried my hardest not to be caught by the widow who lived down the road and walks past as if it were her life’s work. i guess we’ve never really spoken so i’m not to say it wouldn’t go well, but it’s so much easier to be inside this home than risk being known by a stranger.

but today. today, i daydreamed a moment too much and she had me out in the open. she looked at me and said “I don’t know that we’ve met. Who are you?” and so i let her in on love letters, long summers, loss, and everything else we learned together. i may have gotten carried away as night began to fall. i apologized and assured her she could carry on if needed. she responded “Darling, don’t worry. My time isn’t important, I’ve had so much of it. You haven’t yet had the time of your life, do with it whatever you’d like.”

yesterday she loved me, today she hates me again in chasing the wind, i only became afraid of the spin. if you're focused on saving your skin, satan can win, that's just the way that it is. ain’t fate a bitch?
