zoë bracken 70s ambient sound i. listen to plantasia on the first day of winter. if you can find a warm core under layers of frost, powder white, and see where a seed would grow, then i think i could trust you. we were cold some days and if my fingers trailed along your arm’s length you’d kept me at bay. ii. i own seven pairs of hoop earrings pinned against the wall —ready to be called upon as arms. curving into heart shapes and laced with beads losing their paint (stolen, borrowed) 1 my mother’s, 2 stolen from lovers, 3 gifted by sacred friends. they stay above smokey kohl and brick red lipstain stealth & strength iii. when you look at me, i have no idea what reflects back. in moments i think i am the raw honey melting in your tea and on your tongue; in others, i am the long to-do list (take out the trash, weed the garden, call the doctor) which inevitably never gets done. i might be an image of you or of your father. just listening to ambient sound.
