And

And I drove to the ocean
And laughed alot
Spoke of muscle cars with motor heads
Saw The Milky Way

And it was the first time
And the only time
Food tasted perfectó
Sand made sense

And although I ruined the piñas
And strayed too far from shore
Living has felt sweeter
Smiling has saved me

Dedication: To my family, to all flowers, and to best friends — whether I ever see them again.

Still Giants

If suffocation and the longest darkness remain
Be unbound, dear sister.

If shame and the fear of whispers pervade
Be as a giant, precious brother

Stay my best friend, I will stay yours, this only we will know
Feel air returning, own your height, live in peace and grow
