//you haven't emailed your godmother//

//you need to get your act together//

//take your medication//

//call your parents//

//you should have stayed silent//

//shit, you have a lesson right now//

//you didn't eat breakfast//

//kind smiling eyes of your grandfather//

//a green post-it note//

//sitting in so many living rooms//

//now you're shaking//

//hysterical laughter//

//sneaking sips from the slow-cooker//

//disco balls are the best kind of balls//

//you love mountain air//

//your ex shares a video//

//grandmother cheerfully clatters in the narrow kitchen//

//the umbrella is still on the table//

//baking heat on the back of your neck//

//she's no longer with you//

//lizzy, monica, tia, jenny, andrew//

//september has thirty days//

//dancing in the kitchen//

//macabre writing and illness//

//you hated him so much//

//cold ice cream in a penguin cup//

//flooded streets and numbness//

//humble beginnings//

//your first year at university went too fast//

//write it down//

//small denim dresses and photos//

//tears on your face//

//climbing, hiding, giggling//

//laughter and cold fingers//

//kneading cumin into bread dough//

//your inhaler is in your room//

//you have work to do//

//an old friend//

//she sounds concerned//

//twig scratches on your arms//

//you ran from your mother in the store//

//it's slutty//

//your childhood//

//sniffing nail polish is a bad idea//

//christmas is coming//

//you have no wifi//

//passionfruit cocktails//

//he used to sleep there//

//you can feed apples to parakeets//

//you got mad at him about quilts//

//feeling like a badass//

//our planet is dying//

//monster//

//sewing a dress//

//it gets dark early//

//nearly destroying the sofa with your brother//

//mum will take you to buy shoes//

//you cry about getting a bus//

//text dad//

//these are the better times//

//you've never seen the eiffel tower//

//the two of you hardly talk now//

//the buses aren't busy//

//death comes to us all//

//you are not broken//

//memorising latin//

//go to the pharmacy//

//don't be unreasonable//

//you didn't really know her//

//feel alive//

//you're out the other side//

//you felt patronised//

//lentils in the dust on the ground//

//that evening tradition disappeared//

//you run//

//she's going the same way//

//an electric blanket would be appreciated//

//how's your dysphoria//

//the void diminishes//

//writing in the sand//

//he left you//

//excited waiting at the gate//

//when did you last talk to dad//

//you like her lipstick//

//red eyeshadow//

//aching chest//

//nothing is permanent//

//playful pleading//

//you are a dragon fierce and untameable//

//they didn't pay you//

//headphones listening underwater//

//we had better get snow in january//

//green twists amidst golden brown//

//so many long walks//

//0,0//

//how glad you are to be present and well//

//cloves in oranges and cinnamon sticks//

//get lost//

//a litany against fear//

//your poetry is beautiful//

//you have risen//
