#I think I wrote it that night I listened to kate bush before winter break

[vfdxy]

The song nocturn by Kate Bush makes me want to stand waist deep in the pacific ocean on a Tuesday night, completely naked, with a girl I’ve just met, or maybe always known. We face each other. We love each other’s nakedness and vulnerability. No one is here. We drive to the beach, it’s late-late. She calls me halfway through the night. She tells me, I’M COMING. She drives. Or i drive. Night-drunk and love-drunk, giddy with the sensation of not being found, we drive anywhere. We drive on the highway, through those unearthly hills, street lights lighting her face. we don’t know how we get to the ocean but here we are. we run into the ocean. she takes off all her clothes, and then I do, slowly. Drunk on the vulnerability I’m giving her. she understands me. and we touch, a little, a lot. in that vast expanse of molecules that connects us to every other point in the world. that connects us to things that are otherworldly, too. the horizon. rising and rising. the sun comes up on us sitting in my car. salt clinging to us, in our hair, intimacy coloring our faces. two girls, looking for beauty together, finding beauty together.
