the future came and went. in bad decisions. melted ice cream and stubborn walnuts. her voice was loose. it sagged under the weight of her words.
life tumbled in. a caucus of addicts and visionaries. creasing the paper. manipulating the moments.
sex found her. young and eager. all the subtle charisma of a box belching open.
the darkness overtook her. swimming creases. sudden lightning. everything gelatin.
she vibrated and hummed. a motor without wheels.
he heart skipped rope. her mind played dominoes.
angles. pieces. rules. she followed them all them like a treasure map.
still, eventually they all fell down.
no winners. just the empty board.
and the stains where we lingered longer than we should have.
