dreaming through tokyo skies
- Lyrics from a Phoebe Bridgers song titled “Kyoto” Lauren Kraemer
the sky renounces its blues, crying out in the sepia tones of gansai paintings that cover your walls and take you far away from me. and then you’re thirteen hours ahead, or maybe i’m thirteen hours behind. but i still text thirteen hours before you see it and answer me in your mind. at least that’s what i tell myself. i hope you construct such a thoughtful, witty response, so complex that you convince yourself you sent it, you must have. i hope you’ve drafted texts in your notes app of words you’d like to say to me, but couldn’t before they were perfect, or before you were ready. just as i write poetry for you in my notes app, until mt. fuji casts you in gold shadow.
