    at glacier national park

    rip ||instant gratification||

    something is scraping up the inside of my ribcage tapping the bone for maple syrup seeping out a brown glossy shimmering nectar concentrated sugar I hate using the word should and I’ve already written this one a million times but here I am writing it again sad I’m tired of more time passing and then […]

    A Birth Scene

    He’s born in the middle of the woods. He’s born beneath stars scattered across the sky, disorganized and unaware they’re that way.
