    Saffron & rust

    back to the saffron field where i planted the memories of moments that never were all the sweet soliloquies under waxing moons temperate souls orbiting a sun of rusted linens

    of moments that never were
    all the sweet soliloquies under waxing moons
    temperate souls orbiting a sun of rusted linens

    Can’t really provide any background or context to this, other than I wrote it after a day spent at the hospital with someone. I was decompressing from the day, and liked the saffron field image. What’s a sun of rusted linens? No clue. But I still like it.
