you only come with the lights off

grandfather
executes hors d'oeuvres
i am the monster
breaking my own heart
and i do believe the moon
sends soft pulses
the oceans
shape my dreams

god creates a tiktok of your fuck ups

performance of dying
sleep
études on joséphine

please fire me
out of the western canon

acorn

not sure

i’ll oak
