Day's end, #deluxe treat
I savor every layer—
Delicious farewell

Cool! Interesting dichotomy between this acquisition and being freaked out by the fact that there is, in fact, a skeleton inside you 😂🤔

This is Zebby. He finally managed to catch his tail. Super proud of the accomplishment and would like to pretend no one saw the part right after. 12/10 (IG: zebbythegolden)

You are leaf and acorn, an autumn heart with crimson flourish. You tread carefully amid grass strewn parasols, your knees aching from worshiping mushrooms. You are conker and sycamore, a twirl balanced on wind. A comfy cardigan with pockets full of hazelnuts.

night’s residue
sticks to our skin like pollen
we are bees drunk
on the nectar of longing
and the hive is nowhere to be found
