1/11/24 44° 7:10pm Ninety Three ‘Til Infinity And Beyoncé
on repeat
This is the day I shed my layers

a new moon
just wrapped
its arms around
me and began to
peel me apart

This is the first time sage smelled sweet to me.
before,
  • It would smell green. 
  • Like velvety moss. 
  • Green algae. 
  • With a thickness like silk chiffon draped over your face.

I wpondered why I suddenly felt different.

What does change feel like?

To me, it feels like a threaded needle piercing through your spine.

The crepitus is audible and it sends a carress of static across your skin.

Change is rarely pleasant.
