hiking

We went hiking up there in the mountains and everything was amazingly beautiful. The dirt is so glittery it looks like faeries dance there. We saw this one tree that had a big weird scar. If you looked at it right it looked like a guy’s head, but one of the eyes was hanging out on the cheek. We lost our shit, temporarily. The universe is making fun of us.

a poem: 

I used to come to this diner with you

You liked the fries

and getting larger I could see lies

past your face, inside

Clever of you

to hold so still

but Im not completely daft,

and I know you

You sat without moving

for so many days,

my inertia made me ill

I watched, disgusted

as you slid into a crevice

between the bed and the wall

but you were anchored to me,

so you came out

as soon as I left
