pinpricks on my fingertips, and a new thimble
(bomme)
two-emma-tree-ozma-emmy-anna-moth-and-vulnerable
(bomme)
a book of souls I couldn't find, new souls now for the searching
(bomme)
building gods and giants out of ticking finger keyboards

tender morsels sappho sarah waters william blake
(bomme)
beautiful dreams of sleeping, sleeping, in lonely snowy fields
(bomme)
remember forget forget remember forget remember remember remember
(bomme)
persistent the ache just underneath the belly like a breath I can't exhale

(bomme)
remember forget forget remember forget remember remember remember
(bomme)
but everything, everything, everything is beautiful in the world.
