You Are A Dead Star In Terlingua 

It was so quiet it sounded like being underwater and I snapped my fingers to test my ears. I felt the ocean on the other side of the hill.

You are a dead star in Terlingua 

The dead felt close and the bugs sounded like distant conversation. There was a line of calcite crystal in the exposed bedrock of the front yard. I think that’s why we slept so well. 

I was an igneous rock and I looked at the card and told it to tell me its name and what to do. 

It was so quiet it sounded like being underwater and I snapped my fingers to test my ears. I felt the ocean on the other side of the hill. 

I got my shit out of her trailer because I’m an ass wipe, and lazed off sniffing the air with my momma and brothers.

I am perfect for my own reality.
