^{i. there's a message in the heat of coffee and the glare of sunshine and maybe if i look hard enough i'll find it. perhaps the hollow of your heartbeat will open my eyes to the newspaper black-and-white of passing thought and i'll be able to hold onto you without feeling like i'm missing something.
i know it hurts to cry.

ii.  the past is
        the past
and yet i know it has
its own nets and lures of
confusion and

uncertainty

so it can grab on
with its gritty fingers and
pull you into
   reminiscence
reminiscence;
where emotions are
unchanging and words are
unchanging and lies are

unchanging.

iii. i miss the days that smell of my guitar case and ring with echoes of friendships. you followed me from one life to the next and i'm not sure if you should have. these days hold silver and cold, and i want to go home.

iv. i don't know you but i love you.
it's raining. there's a strainer in the sky, and it's raining, and the rain is landing on my eyelashes.}
