— your words might stay longer than you do

[silence-between-stars]

And then, one fairy night, May became June.

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

[silence-between-stars]

nodus tollens

realization your life doesn't make sense anymore

[silence-between-stars]

it's April

no May

it's May

such little things have to be established in the morning after the big things of night

[silence-between-stars]

It's April again.

I want to leave it all.

Which isn't fair. Neither am I.

[silence-between-stars]

if you spend forever staring at your wounds, all you'll ever be is injured.

[silence-between-stars]

How dare I crave connection when all I have to offer is silence?

[silence-between-stars]

[silence-between-stars]

I met you and now

I am kind to myself in my sleep

and how do you explain that ?

[silence-between-stars]

February. Haze of confusion.

Fatigue, mingled excitement and horror.

[silence-between-stars]

I have buried you in every place I have been. You keep ending up in my shaking hands.

[silence-between-stars]

but we joke and laugh otherwise we would start screaming

[silence-between-stars]

What a strange life !

An evening refuses to pass,

Yet the years are slipping by, effortlessly.

[silence-between-stars]

Forever..

is a dangerous word.

How can a mortal offer eternity?

[silence-between-stars]

Autumn came, with wind and gold.

[silence-between-stars]

That is the thing with time, isn't it? It's not all the same. Some days, some years, some decades are empty. There's nothing to them. It's just flat water. And then you come across a year, or even a day, or an afternoon. And it is everything. It is the whole thing.

[silence-between-stars]

And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.
