Buried 01:51
I will run to find you as sooon as i can I am broken so the trek may kill me But I wont die for long for I have my love for you buried deep underground hidden among rocks and silt. a love that saves me like trickling water when i wheeze, dehydrayed I'll let if form a pool and I'll jump in and I will run to find you as soon as I can. If i die on the way it will not be sad my love is buried deep and will last

Messy Tongue 04:03
It all rolls off this messy tongue all these words that mean nothing at all they bounce off the walls like flames or even knives in a storm my eyes are squinting they are blinded by a light, is it yours? you say no its not mine, I have mine folded away for only me to see so hazily i try to undo this dreaded storm that i've cast upon you with yelps and pain and love and shame it helps to drain the fear from my brain with yelps and pain and love and shame it helps to drain the fear from my brain I unwind the wind that blows all around you and I It all comes down, the knives they fall and tinker on the ground and the flames drown it all comes down, the knives they fall and tinker on the ground and the flames drown

Eucalypt 01:47
smells of cracking eucalypt carried on turbulent air. the dog laps the water from his bowl and i hear your voice for the first time in more than a month and it whips, my heart buckled, folded double. rebellion surges upwards, trickling against gravity it begins in my stomach, and it roosts in my brain and i tell you that i'm angry, that our love ought not be wasted like it is. you are unbelievably strong or did you not feel it all along? you are living but me i'm barely holding on "i don't know how else to be" is what you say to me when i tell you that i have my love for you buried deep inside my bones even now.

Concrete 02:24
I lay on hot concrete in the backyard with my shirt off laying in sunlight i watch a bee bouncing on seed pods and i say to it, "my love has gone. drowning in the oceans between us, a love born and dead in 18 months" my heart is worn, clamping at memories of you laughing at geese and yelling at me about chimneys somehwere in taroona i roll on my stomach and push myself up feebly attempting to achieve something as i rise so does the pounding in my chest as i try not to recall you naked and holding me idly i find myself at my desk repeatedly checking my emails my body swells, darkness wells, breathe in sunlight

Mist 01:46
Today is a day almost entirely of mist hardly a moment when the white cloud starts to lift for a fleeting second the wind picks it up parting the curtain with ease in that time i saw on the hill opposite me a pale dog playing in someones yard it was running around up and down, all around this tree that looks so much like a frog with a whirling of air the curtain draws closed and i find myself blankly thinking "will what is wrong, when did you start fading? why is it you are even suffocating? the mist is a drink to cure your tired bones, inhale it, and unravel. you aren't as broken as you make out to be, you are only small like dirt."
