[Text ID: a piece of prose entitled ‘Lifeline for Delusions,’ spread across three images, and which together reads as follows:ID 1: where you see me again / ghosts of time lying side by side / new beds new houses old homes / the closest anyone has ever come / to touching heartbreak //my heart is a ticking clock / beating in reverse to the rhythm / of prayer uttered in the dark / whispering please, inch / just a little closerID 2: erase the years the tears the fears / reincarnate first love with / your arm around my waist / bring back youth by lacing / your fingers through mine //i close my eyes & it smells like late / spring, a memorial to a storybook / first kiss from long ago / the spaces between us reminiscing / over your mouth on my neck //you shift closer & i wonder if it’s / on purpose, if our hands are wandering / to three years ago, if the silence is / grieving a younger set of eyes / meeting in the night, brimming with loveID 3: morning comes with rude awakening / & parallel universes are dying stars / dissipating, but you smile at me / in the early sunlight / like a lifeline for delusions // i tuck it away, a souvenir from history / think if you could just keep / looking at me like maybe / i’m still the sun, i’ll pretend / you’re thinking it too /End ID] -- source link
