summer mellowdies

the highs by panama

arty boy by flight facilities feat. emma louise

does your city sleep like mine by jim lawrie

never start by middle kids

what can i do if the fire goes out? by gang of youths

jungle by tash sultana

strange or be forgotten by temples

all disco by elbows

wasted on fidelity by cameron avery

love is mystical by cold war kids

let's hug longer by heaps good friends

put p(l)ainly

were we ever
more than mutual mis-
understanding?

tiny bright
pinpoints, or

pieces of a past
constellate my
black internity.

i felt sunlight, today
but only in a
first few layers.

i smiled back
from outside edges.

from a great twilight horizon.

from a silhouetted façade
mirage-masked across
a sea of empty p(l)ains.

day ran away
on no legs &
cement block feet

home at last
but my head's still
down your street

skip skip skip
repeat type
type type delete

elaborate dis-
traction
easy redirected
attentions & all

those little ways
a long gaze
can be averted or
avoided

quick scan from
head to toe &
quicker flick to
another show

stares drill into
a cold shoulder

& it's not wrong
to want a him
who just wants
to hold her

tight or down
against a wall
a long night
or a short
crawl toward
understanding
or morning
or acceptance
or reciprocation
or
