zero
soul-glow
from our year zero
give me ether
give me my ever-after
i just need to think
all the world is a blinking cursor
affinity for the dead city lights
infinity for dead circuitry
a pair of radar blips coalesce over the ocean
and we are damage
your eyes were a breached exxon hull
i never liked your eyeliner
i don't know why i'm thinking about you
now
time
withers quietly
in the palm of my hand
from our year zero
give me ether
give me my ever-after
i just need to think
all the world is a blinking cursor
affinity for the dead city lights
infinity for dead circuitry
a pair of radar blips coalesce over the ocean
and we are damage
your eyes were a breached exxon hull
i never liked your eyeliner
i don't know why i'm thinking about you
now
time
withers quietly
in the palm of my hand

Two ships colliding in the night leaving a spill that will take years, possibly a lifetime, to clean.
I love the life line reference of your palm. The melancholy nature of this permeates personal
experience like ripples from the collision. Well done, Grae.
Happy Christmas.

The time reference is meant as physically holding my time in my hand. But your interpretation sounds way cooler. I almost wanted to just go along with it :)
Merry christmas

But isn't that what a life line does? Hold time in your palm?

A very melancholy look at love; unrequited is the vibe I'm getting.
Its an intriguing look too at the concept of technology taking over interpersonal communication and in succumbing to this we diminish our chances of cultivating real, meaningful love. The lines in articular that I absolutely dig are "affinity for dead city lights/ infinity for dead circuitry"... it is a crippling trade for sure.
Very good work, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
