Almost Angels

- inspired by “Young and Beautiful” - Lana Del Rey

a steady anchor :: an aching soul
neglect :: nonchalance :: naivety
 
“Can I ask you a question?”
I know you can. You will.
 
when it’s over i’ll walk you
to the gate if there is a gate
maybe the door is unlocked
and they keep the lights on
for the ones who stayed out
late but made it back home
 
i want our eight hands to lace together
our double wings to touch our beautiful
many-mouths to say love love love amen
 
“You think they’ll let us in?”
I know you can. You will.
