blast from the past
May wastes her days on sodoku and ginger tea. She’s decided to do nothing until her heart is finally ready to be seen by another. That recognition is the painful part- that solitary “I am” that beats itself bloody into “we are.” No longer does the rag of her heart continue- “I am” “I am” “I am”, steady and familiar, but “We are” “We are” “I am” “fuck this” “I am” “we are” “fuck this.” This...

Also- side thought, if I’m releasing Golden Age & Silver Girl on iTunes and Spotify and getting spots on NPR...
