Our suitcases sank from all the gold that we had earned from stories never to be told
The primary feature of my day was too much catbox and too little sleep, but ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
choco_frosh came over in the evening and taught me how to tie a four-in-hand knot, so I have been sitting here at my computer periodically putting on and taking off a tie, which is surprisingly entertaining. I assumed I would find it more difficult. spatch points out that I can tie my own shoelaces, so where did I get that idea?
Have some songs I have been recently playing on repeat. I don't think they form a narrative, but human pattern-making could always prove me wrong.
Alvvays, "In Undertow"
What's left for you and me?
I ask that question rhetorically
Can't buy into astrology
And won't rely on the moon for anything
Auditorium, "Never Wrote a Diver a Poem"
Never killed a candle in a poet's home
Never let a digger retire
Never helped a builder learn the dirt's a liar
Austra, "Shoot the Water"
Shame is your name
And desperate things can measure it
Silence speaks for you
Long Neck, "Elizabeth"
West Milford, don't let on
I've been listening to the same three songs
And I swear I can hear you singing too
Lost Under Heaven, "Bunny's Blues"
Through all I've spoken, all that I've woken
Still you don't understand me
The Mynabirds, "Shouting at the Dark"
Go right ahead
You can cut me off at my knees
I'll find a new way to get back up
Sufjan Stevens, "Mystery of Love"
Like Hephaestion who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?
Typhoon, "Rorschach"
And all this fiction makes me nervous
Turns out it was blood spilled on the canvas
We admired just like some Rorschach painting
I am back to having a terrible time doing nice things for myself. I am trying to talk myself into either watching a movie or reading a book. Or maybe just going to bed.
