To people who hold fireflies in mason jars: do you pretend not to see the light blink out.

theadventuretobe:

The ‘anywhere you want me’

approach to questioning

lovers and limbs

falling off of time machines

and growing into pillows. All while you sleep.

            Did you open your eyes.

            When you did, were you awake.

            How many times have you been awake today.

I am in the habit of ending questions with periods

when I do not want to slowly extinguish with the answers 

in the mason jar I captured myself in.

I am stuck here

with a light behind me

asking:

            Why are homes are made of glass.
