Closer

Fire face like a broken place,mountainside unwavering againstthe water slides that try to imitate them.I think I hate them but it kills me to admit thatsince I know it’s just a feelingand a feeling isn’t anything but noise.There isn’t anything here betweenthe liquor stores and people wanting moreof what they barely have.There is a body […]

Transmutation
