Good evening to forrest fires, trans men who love american gothic, to 8 year old girls in grocery stores who know how I'll die and to vampires in lighthouses who prefer the salt in oceans to salt in blood, astorids, half ghosts who write songs in their bedrooms, glass in parking lots and to suburban guardian angels who can't protect me anymore.
