Do you understand? When I am done telling you these stories, when you’re done listening to these stories, I am no longer I, and you are no longer you. In this afternoon we briefly merged into one. After this, you will always carry a bit of me, and I will always carry a bit of you, even if we both forget this conversation.

This moment was cute!
The rain arrayed like death,
exposed like love,
the rain
timid as morning,
distant as a body;
the rain loyal to the wind
draws a horizon on the night,
and lashes the sea with its childhood dreams.
The rain
a hand erasing memory from your mind.
So the rain will cone
regal and nomadic
because our sobs share the same borders,
because our arms like madmen close on nothing.
And the rain
shafts of a star
is honed like a dagger and plunges like fate.

The second photo shows a transparent teal, blue, and purple d20, the nail art matching in a glittery polish. The third photo shows a glittery purple d20 with flecks of gold streaked through it, and a matching glittery dark purple polish with a silver sheen. The last photo shows a glittery rainbow d20 and matching glittery nail art, each nail showing the rainbow in a different arrangement. End description.]
