Premiere Generation Ink.


walking home from my last Wednesday ever.

Lost in the branched maze
of ten thousand purple blossoms
Glowing in hazelnut spring abundance
Stalks pressed in parallels to the sky
And freshly mowed honey grass
that sticks to the back of wet thighs
When the air matches your skin
Matches the air matches your lips
And the spray of phoenix fountains
puts a chill on pre-summer cheeks

This is how I know I'm in love
Because the mud puddles are glorious
The city is pure jewels
And I can see it all.
