Favorite Quote:
"I am not young enough to know everything" - Oscar Wilde


a guitar string.
with dusty grooves,
crackling and tight under
her oily fingertips.

a fading slogan
on an empty highway's
billboard, with amber rust
and hooked on tired eyes.

a dried rose,
brittle with floral evenings
and magnolia nights,
crumbling under her hands.
;
play me with misty eyes
and rough gestures.

seek me like the fallen and chalky friend
midst a neon purge.

hold me like a newborn in
early autumn.
