“
Whatever you dropped in the dark can be recovered in the morning. We will find the turquoise ring that clutched the mud and grass as I ripped your costly jeans, down to your soft calves.
The night rain, beading upon your skinny spine. If you were drunk, I didn’t know. You didn’t say anything stupid. Your tongue was blossoming, pronouncing your kiss, cleanly.
I was glad your breath was hot...

“You see more and more why healing is happening through music. It’s because music causes a reorganization of tonal structure, and Man in essence is a vibration.”

“If my travels have taught me anything it’s that places, like people, are a combination of flawed and beautiful, but most are worthy of one’s time, exploration, forgiveness and defense. No one place is perfect, but then again, what truly beautiful thing is?”
—Andrew McMahon
