this is not an exit.

i've been digging Saves the Day at an unhealthy level lately, at an increasingly sick rate. maybe it was because i was prepping to see them Saturday, which was 2 days ago. but they're stickin' around for a while. Stay What You Are sang to me for the first time tonight. it's easily up there now. this, in turn, has been influencing my writing the past week or so and it'll damn sure continue now.

seven hundred forty four hours - snapshot like a blink of your brown stare.
tonight's snow and rain taunted me. they knew it. we knew too.
the lights are out but the whites are as bright as the snow outside.
this heart is dancing in this throat and there's nothing more to do.

to many more.
