Saturday 15th of June 2019

Footsteps in the sand.

I have a necklace that I’ve never worn.

I bought it because it reminded me of a witch’s talisman,

And I wanted it to be mine.

I look at it now, hanging on the wall,

And it looks like a letter in a bottle.

A lost relic, floating around in a vast ocean,

Black seaweed tangled around it,

A message still waiting to be read.

I’m so good at not finishing things.

But I like the stillness here, the rain,

The quiet it creates.

As soon as you start to see those little lines around your eyes that’s your cue to stop giving a shit. Start taking names and dot dot dot…

I’m living next door to my grandfather, he’s been reborn as a white woman with bad hair. Every time she yells at her kids I hear him. It’s terrifying. Is that PTSD?
