holding tightly on to grey dashboards

let’s go to the drive in
raspy voice in cold air
his hair, raven feathered,
face weathered with lines
from too much time holding
tightly on to grey dashboards.

the tones from others voices
pumping through tattered
speakers, torn and broken
they crackle into
background noise.

my eyes are unfocused,
pupils dilated inflated
ego resting in the palm of
a left hand. i speak of
stars exploding, moons
rotating and i’m gravitating,
fading out

my voice falls through the
lines in his palms, the space
between each individual hair
and my tongue settles
and he makes a fist
with his left hand.

[god it feels good to write again. i finally got my hair cut and coloured today, it looks fab and i cannot wait to show the boy and etc. i will take pictures asap. i feel new, and it’s nice. xo;]

I desperately need my hair done. I’ve never been to a drive-in theatre simply because they don’t exist around here. I’d like too though.
