AGNIESZKA FILIPEK | All the Souvenirs
GIRVALAKE NAKTARIA | Fade Into You
10 LIGHT
everything tastes better in bed
you whispered in my ear
too many times
I smashed all the souvenirs from the places
you always wanted to visit
shouting out her name
shattered pieces getting deep
into your Persian carpet
like knives into flesh
frantically trying to change a hoover bag
and everything else in my life
job flat breakfast cereal
no more take away pizza
from that Italian place
on the corner
we were always forgetting napkins
and you were licking
my fingers
