I huddle by your
Fireplace, searching for warmth
Only to get burnt

How does it work?

I. The timelines are frayed and worn and bleeding together like false hope. A cedar wood scent has you turning to search for cerulean eyes. They are already trained on you. You look away instinctively, heart fluttering, hands shaking.

Little children what do you know and what exactly, are you able to show do you know why the world is fighting all its foes

Life is about taking out the trash and calling it trash because you have every reason to. It wasn't meant to be linear, they say. But the times you tried to make it straight led to problems, and you didn’t have the tools to put any of it to use. You don't put your right shoes on the right feet; you put the left shoes on the left feet. The grey hardened slab will trip you up anyway.
