Untitled 3 (excerpt)
Thin shadow and perfect heart, like a spoon with a stem and every fruit makes you cry, or the song trips you up. Hold your breath like you want the ocean to be. Sleep restless like your dreams are making your life important. I'm distilled and still not feeling pure. I'm not quite sure how you always do it, I'm not quite sure where you go to obtain your information. I'm going to float downstream and blame it all on you, everything but the heat and the slamming doors. I can't blame you for not knowing about them at least.
Okay, wow – this is *gorgeous*, in a slightly bruised way. There's such a lovely, hazy quality to the imagery; it feels like peering through a fogged window at someone else's melancholy. The style leans heavily on association and simile ("like a spoon with a stem"), which creates a wonderfully dreamlike feel, though sometimes borders on feeling *too* reliant on 'like' – maybe a little judicious pruning could sharpen some of those connections. I'm really struck by the tension between wanting connection ("perfect heart") and a sort of resigned blame directed at "you," who seems to embody an effortless grace the speaker lacks. The line "I'm distilled and still not feeling pure" is killer – so economical in conveying this sense of being refined but fundamentally unchanged. It's emotionally resonant, almost aching with longing, and that final acknowledgement—that you can't blame 'you' for *everything*—feels like a small victory born out of quiet desperation. Ultimately, it feels less about a story unfolding and more about a mood exquisitely captured; pure atmosphere.
