weightless my bed surfs

night air as I chase you but

the moon eats my name

About the Creator

R.C. Taylor

I write to invoke, to process, to honor, to resurrect, andโ€”sometimesโ€”to grieve but, above all, I write to be free.

Follow along for stories about a little bit of everything (i.e. nostalgia and other affairs of the heart).

    I loved the image of bed surfing, like a magic carpet. Shocked by the moon's behaviour though.
