    Day 16: black lemons on my tongue

    let’s kiss like the walls are closing in

our hearts young and feral 
racing against the full moon
you taste like burn scars and lemons

like a sad gray day that makes you feel whole
in the most lonesome way
    let’s kiss like the walls are closing in

    our hearts young and feral
    racing against the full moon
    you taste like burn scars and lemons

    like a sad gray day that makes you feel whole
    in the most lonesome way

    Day 15: the world is too much with us

    i escape into words as the world descends, descends
but the walls of pretty distraction
tremble a little more as each day 
stretches into the next
    i escape into words as the world descends, descends
    but the walls of pretty distraction
    tremble a little more as each day
    stretches into the next

    The World is Too Much With Us by William Wordsworth
