Isn't it weird how scents
Are places?
Are time?
Long lost forgotten or erased?
I took our pages and burned them
Dug a hole deep enough for both our corpses
And laid them bare to rot
Erased our memories with the best of my Blanco
Blank spaces their only remain
Yet a smear of my red lipstick
And you stain my nose
With a burning flame
A touch greatly despised by my present
Yet
Red have always been my color
So I coat it on my lips
And let it stain my scent
Consume me
And I'm floating through
Like a time traveler in a loop between worlds
No where and everywhere at once
Like a book with no ending
Its pages scattered in the forgotten ruin of the library of Alexandria
Burned to the ground by its makers.
