Lot’s wife
Perhaps her fate was not too tragic after all. I sometimes wish I could turn to salt, slip through your fingers, and dissipate into the vastness of the ocean.
Grounding

White heat
Deep thought
Deep sigh

Red cheeks
Black ice

Countdown
Countless...
... Numb.
...Narrow.
... Nothingness....

Love’s Arrow
You are by far the most beautiful scar to ever have grazed my heart.
Your twenties
This moment *right now* is melancholia - but will one day grow up to be nostalgia.
In Memory of a Mother: By a Grown Man
Come out from that hiding place you made after those days
When the glass was not half-empty
And we hadn’t yet deciphered the hieroglyphics
Of the English language.
I pinky promise that I won’t hurt you,
You pinky promise that you won’t let me,
And of all the things I’ve learned in life, the most important:
Never go back on a pinky promise.
Is this a rhetorical question?
The doctor is sorry for being two minutes too late,
The journalist for having to type the obituary,
The psychologist for losing a patient,
And I for finding irony in putting our soles between our feet
And the dead of winter.
A child has lost his mother,
A husband, his reason to live,
And I – I believe that I have lost nothing,
That I will never lose anything…
“Daddy, does heaven have a phone?”

You can tell a lot about a person by the way she sings the words wrong; what she thinks she hears in the lyrics. Often times, the song benefits from the amendment.
"I found this life along with some spare change in my pocket. And though it may seem insignificant, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend it all in one place."
