some of our work (for your viewing pleasure and/or inspiration):

Does it hurt to put on all those necklaces?

They weigh down on your heart. 

I saw the tear slide from the corner of your eye the other day.

And once, I bicycled all the way to the moon.

I only did it to see you

Can you count every scar?

Flesh torn and ripped apart

Again and again.

Just as healing skin returns,

Rrrrrrriiiiiiip, tear. There.

Beating like the bassline of Redemption's song

Heavy heart holds heavy hearts

Together they go on

-isi

your body is the poetry of my emotions

every step away from you

a 

lightyear 

taken from my heart

i want to DRUM

In the sands of your abdomen

crush me beneath 

your t h o u s a n d ton shadow

walking on the (eggshells) of my soul 

how can I attain a melody 

as infinite as the constantly expanding

universe of our

Simultaneous Star-Gazing

-sofi

my eyes are swollen
like butterflies
and i'm walking with a sweater on
noticing all of these 
bright, bright stars
that glimmer like camera shutters
flicking around in the darkness
and affecting me
more than i'd like to admit
The grass itches where i'm standing.
and there's too many whispers
and faces gazing at me
with their bright firefly eyes
and i stare back
with my dull butterfly eyes
wishing i could be more like them.
