21 Night time cramps to make any respite feel like a false sense of security forever I was staring at the pool and the neighbor's garden lit up with fairylights (who are they? I wish I was braver or it was culturally acceptable to introduce yourself as a snoop) I thought maybe I should stay through the winter like Tante Rizzo There's nothing for me in Cairo I need my car though They'll shut down the village cafe and store when everybody leaves Maybe I'll feel different in August I love smelling the flowers and listening to the waves Everything's so beautiful I keep getting a frog in my throat and tearing up When I was completely numb and dissociating all the time, this place saved me It was a dragonfly Dancing around my head in the pool And Z and K nagging me to get up They aren't nagging this summer I guess that means I'm better now Well, I'm less in my head anyway |
