60s old 60s, old sepia,old home videos of them tumbling in the grass, in bed, chasing each other around the kitchen, the house, the field outside the cottage. Their friends, the bar, their life, just their life they lived, slow, stopped moment in time just them living like it was only them in the world, only them who mattered, even though they lived real hard life, the feeling of it only being them in the world, time stopping is what spurned the fantasy. fantasy of it being like that always, fantasy because she or  both of them ignored the signs of the inevitable fall out, the signs of incapability. long legs, long stems always displayed in a short summer skirt or dress just for him.

 Nostalgia

I'm sweet, so swwet

our love was strong because it was like a continual dose of nostalgia, nostalgia, we lived off nostalgia, what life was, is and could have been and could be, what would be. everything was nostalgia, like i invented you, manifested one afternoon, dreams manifested and like in all fantasies, fantasies manifested,all manifestations you were completely empty, empty on the inside, just an immense void, large void, but it took me too long to realize that, or accept that. nostalgic love.

i can't break through you, would i find us on the other side, find myself on the other side or emptiness, the visceral, the surface what you allow, allow to be seen only hollow. how do you live, living on the surface, who are you, a hollow mystery?

Stay tuned for the accompanying finished piece!
