a saint in any form:

nocturnes:
i was disoriented in a train station. turning circles. walking lines. i fell into a car and you were there. it must have been six in the morning. i don't know what time it was. i sat down. i sat next to you. i sat backward on the train and suddenly . . . i sat down. maybe you were coming from the gym. you were awake and clean and you were wearing a lot of hoods. yr track pants were rubbing against my leg. the music sounded like gym music. and yr hair was shorn. i can almost see you handcuffed to the handholds, splayed at right angles worthy of modernist movements (and in such colour!). what i mean to say is that there is an abstract richness about you.

no, but seriously, the truth of the matter is
it's cold,
i'm hungry,
my pants smell like pee,
and if i saw you accidentally,
i'd probably start to cry.

conjuring and conveying. but it's really weird and kinda hard. cuz on the one hand, i'm really into the materialities of feelings, like, the physical imprints. but on the other hand, i'm basing this on unfounded imagination. elevation is one word. transcendence might be another (but i'm still not certain). commuting, definitely. like, the train, the bridge—in between spaces where you can, like, really hope for that intervention that keeps you from yr destination or takes you to a new one.

i wanted this to be a decision, but now it's just a disadvantage.
