There's a say

About how you write a story

Story that keeps you alive

I am wondering

With you and me

If I can make one

Because you exist to me

As I living in this world

Day 6: Forget-me-not

Bread and Music by Conrad Aiken

***Headphones Recommended*** Style: percussive, fingerstyle guitar Notes: below the cavernous mouth of the Bar Lupin, lingering in the air is a hint of smoke and whisky as Oda and Dazai amuse each other in the evening

“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.” – Francis Scott Fitzgerald
