wrinkled hands on dried flowers cold water ripples lips on eyelids parachutes falling whistled words under bed sheets smoke curls disappear chapped lips bend ink stains burn empty envelopes fold
(words repeat in my head)

when you realize everything is perfect, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.
soft-spoken and broken-winged, i'm charlie. anxious, fragile, and floating, i day dream. keys, buttons, cardigans, collars, and polaroids. i am mismatched. burning, twisting, and falling. i am filled with inspiration. rippled water, neck aches, silence, street lights, and waiting rooms. i hear a buzz. words written on backs of hands, failing lungs, and tired eyes. i'm awake. i repeat.
i am Siobhan, and i am here. Where is here? i am, and will be gone until you call my name, over and over, until it doesn't make sense anymore. i am an abandoned house with an unlit staircase, and screeching rats. i am driving till i run out of gas. polaroid dreams, and film cartridges unused, unspoken. watches with no hands, and smiles as red as blood. i am scratching, and reading until the sun sets, and watching the sun glisten on this frosted windshield. smokey lungs, and happy shouts. childrens jackets button up and cover my pallid skin. happy, sad, running, falling, breathing. i am here, perhaps. But where are you?
siobhan and charlie collectively are a huge mess. luckily, they are completely okay with this. you will most likely find them stealing from thrift stores, running in large fields, causing problems at the danforth museum, or breaking into abandoned houses. you will notice that throughout all of these activities there is always someone with a camera on hand.
