Today there is white rain, and I slept for twelve hours. I dreamt in black and white patterns. I watched myself drawing them.

Today there is snow, and I’ll need to be awake for twelve hours. I’ll think of you some of the day, even though I try not to, even though all your interest is gone, even though it’s only me who became invested.

Watching the snow melt. Listening to Emily Haines.

“Open your chest and take the heart from it. Open your chest. What’s bad? We’ll fix it. What’s wrong? We’ll make it alright, alright?”

“Some part of you, too small to lose. Some part of you, too small to lose. All of us. All of you. All of us. All of you counting to the last breath we take. What we made doesn’t make sense. What’s a wolf without a pack? Open your chest and take the heart from it. When you talk, can I tape you? How’d you get what we don’t know? We don’t know how to help… only know how to hound. Nose to the grindstone. Grindstone to the ground.”
