Jonathan Gonzalez You see, it never went away. We’re just waiting for winter. We’re only a few months away. A grey cloud up above. A soft landing on your couch. An intelligence that is brought out. The break never felt so good without the work. The music fills up the empty spots in between the stars. And … Read more
Once again air refills my lungs as I am stopped short of falling over. A quiet descent and reminder of how easy it is to live And how easier it is to forget. Our citizens drive by in a race against themselves. We’re scared of the streets. We speed because we just can’t get to … Read more
