how to wish on impossible things
There is a girl made up of impossible legends.
She lives in the fragments of wishes that will never come true.
When pennies lose their shine and heads become tails
After every eyelash is lost in the whisper of a breath
Until wishing wells dry up and all the stars fall from the sky,
She will only be the words that created her

how to lose yourself to sadness
i. press your lips to the sunlight.
wake up with a song on your tongue
and words too beautiful to speak.
ii. convert every song you listen to
into natural minor. no, harmonic minor—
no, chromatic scale.
you need more color in your life.

no, you are daedalus, retrieving his body
from the war-torn ocean.
throw yourself into the lethe,
and forget, forget, forget.
iv. promise a friend that you'll paint.
entertain yourself with ideas of starry nights
and cypress trees, and discard them.
abandon your sketchbook. feel nostalgic
for graphite under you
