mood

The Kills and the Yeah Yeah Yeah sets the mood for this one.

i wanna lie floating in the water in my heart-shaped glasses staring at the clear blue sky. tan lines getting obvious by the minute. shoulders burning slowly. red string bikini with tiny white polka dots. green and blue stripped towel. chiseled greek statue of a man, brunette in a yellow pair of board shorts holding out pineapple juice at the edge of the pool. he smiles, i shiver in the heat.


driving with the windows down, hand making air waves gestures outside. chipped black fingernails. mixtape in the stereo. singing along. 4 voices screaming out lyrics we've known by heart. the girls of my life. shrills of laughter, picture time. hands outstretched. flash. sweet floral perfume and smoky cigarette wraps our skins. heads stuck together. perfect picture.


sand between toes. inside shorts. stars so bright. i make a wish. close my eyes. squeeze them tight. play my favorite louder. more. more. more. i'm at ease. release and breathe out. rest my head on your shoulders. touch the back of my hand. complete.
