"Happiness" by Jonsi & Alex

The fireflies were knots in my hair.
Summer breathed down my neck, a warm hand.
And twilight burned purple.

"De Sang Froid" by Zero Absolu

These are my years of hurt,
a time of eyes squeezed shut
and
little
baby
whimpers.

(Shh don't tell,
this is our little secret.)

"Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine

So they left me
like a dying kitten on your doorstep,
sleepy-eyed and with the tiniest mouth.
I'm sorry,
but I'm a mess.

"Acid Food" by Mogwai

I think
the shadows
have finally
gone back
to
bed.

I can sleep again.
