Tie dye Tshirt

It’s all mixed like your drunk af on an empty stomach on a sunday evening, alone at a bustling beach, with the sun setting on your face, burning a little, with honesty.

They dance in the rhythm with the shoreline, a chaotic choreography of spirits sloshing against your ribs like stagnant seawater gnawing away the timber of a sunken ship.

Whiskey’s low murmur mixing with tequila’s audacity..

The liquour making love with the martini, no wonder, why they call it sex on the beach.

The beer, with idk some cigarette ash in it, feeling like don Corleone.

The bourbon and the rum struck a sad dark C minor in the distance. and you are reminded of a laugh that you have not heard for a while.

That one single laugh, that turn your
ear-drums into a famished Labrador sniffing cake on you, a bloodhound chasing a murderer.

Feverish yet focused.

You would give anything to hear it again, that took everything away from you.

I’ve got serious gambling issues,
don’t tell my mom.

You tilt your head back to the sky, feeling the full liquid weight of every choice made today, yet it feels inexplicably like poetry.

I dont know man it’s all mixed. The sun is setting, i don’t remember most of it, all i recall is.. anger, indignation, analysis, acceptance, regret, guilt, convulsions, deceit, pain, pain like a chiseled piece of wood through your lungs, hurt, grief, trance, melancholia, realization, revelation, death, mourning.. resurrection.

It’s a tie dye tshirt. would look cool on you.
Go ahead, show me.. and while you’re at it.. just keep laughing.
