Flat on the floor lookin’ back on old love or lack thereof.” JM

“She comes and she goes like no one can.
She comes and she goes and non one knows she’s slipping through my hands.
She’s always buzzing just like neon.” JM

“You roll outta bed and down on your knees.
And for a moment you can hardly breathe.” JM

I survive on the breath you are finished with.” JM
6. doing something terrifying
“Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away?” JM

“Stop this train.
I want to get off and go home again.
I can’t take the speed its moving in.” JM

“You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes.
It brought me back to life.” JM

An early evening dream.
A past-life love affair.” JM
