carbon glow


saw a haunting image the other day.

a haunting image of you.


saturday

on the F train.


at 6:13pm est


at 7:13 am seoul time

an alternate twin of yours.

only on an alternate time frame.

maybe 6 years younger than your reality.

in an alternate reality.

with an alternate group of friends.

in an alternate state of mind. yet the same as yours.


she was carrying wild flowers from a deli. wrapped in clear cellophane.

quite but smiling . and laughing aloud. and smiling big.


and quietly she placed the flowers to her nose and breathed in. when she breathed in... the cellophane wrapped around her mouth in a suffocating cocoon. she breathed out the plastic - and the plastic released, covered with foggy breath and condensation. then she did it again. suffocating herself for a moment... then releasing the floral cellophane. it was eerily beautiful.

she scared me.

and made me smile.
