Description sing your pretty songs with your stardust lips

powder sky eyes flutter under the pressure of standing upright

does the gallery of stars notice you faltering?

the cosmos swirl in your heart and you wish for the vertigo to stop

stop spinning stop spinning stop spinning

throwing out an arm to steady the falling, solar flare memories blinding at times

you have to remember to avoid the black hole, stepping carefully around it like a missing step in the staircase

the railing smearing your fingertips with iron cast emotions

happy sad smile shake your head sit down hold it together together together

let it all fly apart in an expulsion of voice

feel the base thrumming through the soles of your threadbare shoes

watch the gap, you'll fall back through it again

step aside step aside step aside

just remember the trick step, you can avoid it again next time

the glow in the dark sticky stars on your ceiling smile as you gaze up at them absent minded

"She's gone." you whisper

no little star, she is right there in your room above you on the primed wall

the black hole is avoidable, just update your FTL drive

the peanut gallery claps quietly, grinning despite themselves as the performance comes to a close

comets of spotlights obscure your vision before they are blotted out by curtains of night, enveloping in their entirety

I miss you I miss you

roll over and burrow into the soft cushion stage of the evening, breathe easy starlet

avoid the holes and meet her again in dream scape skies

Might be my favorite thing you've ever written. The repetition, the imagery, just...

-brainbow shroom. You wrote yourself a winner right here.

I want to find the perfect person off of the street, ask them to act out this character, and film this. I really don't have much in the way of practical applications for actually recording this or editing it together, but I want to film this. And set it to "jigsaw falling into place" spliced with about a dozen other radiohead songs.

I wish you weren't stuck hitting so many shoals right now.

thank yooouuuuuu I think this one, the one I did about my dad's crash (the really short one something about hailing) and then the one with the line about matches are my favorites, they're like the only ones I would qualify as poetry lol

that would be amazing on so many levels... we hould seriously do that one day, just shoot a bunch or random emotive shots and stick em all together with an awesome medly... the things I WISH I could do with my free time lol

Whats a shoal?

I'm thinking about going on a gallery purge soon I want to get rid of the ones that aren't really, like you said, poetry. There are a ton I like enough to keep, but there's also a ton that I look at and I'm like... yeah no.

Yes. We'll make that happen as like, a college project on short films (or just as us goofing around and being like, we're making a fancy-shmancy photo collage! Happy happy flower dance!

Oh derp, I forgot you don't go to Hatteras... um, a shoal could be best described as a patch of rocks below or at the surface of water I guess? I just feel stupid saying "I'm sorry" over and over again for something I had no hand in. So basic translation would be something like, "I wish you weren't stuck with all of this shit going on."
