Time slip
I have these moments, you see, where it doesn’t make any sense. And I’m retracing my steps backwards to find out when it stopped feeling like me. I can’t trace them back far enough, I guess that’s the thing about growing. You can’t go backwards, unlearn the lessons or stitch up the hurt places in a way… Continue reading Time slip

We go and pick out your bridal gown. We stand witness to a new form of white. As soft as spring, as strong as spider's web, perhaps with buttons? Maybe with lace or chiffon? Who knows what the details will be. Who knows if I will cry when I see you, in a veil trying… Continue reading Tomorrow…
