POSTCARD SERIES:  LUX LISBON. ( @stohnefox  )

       01:30am.       you’re standing there across from her at a crossroads.  dark sky above had a limit of stars tonight, not enough to stop and count constellations.  it wasn’t like you wanted to anything ; too focused on the way the slightly yellowed tinge of streetlights cast glow across her paled features.   thinking more about how the lamp did little to compliment her complexion ; knowing she looked better under the stars or with the suns glow.    "you say ‘i’ll give you anything’ but you never come through”      another screaming reminder at the ways in which you’d always come up short.    the ways in which you’d continue to fail, falling into familiar pattern and footsteps of a father who taught you all that you knew about what it meant to be a man.     it’s a story that doesn’t feature any other ending besides one that’s tragic.     

     cigarette sits lit between lips, bottom spout split in the middle from an earlier fight with a man who’s name you never caught. it didn’t matter now, you’d insist that you won if anyone dared to ask.      there’s nothing funny in what she’s saying, nothing funny in the way she stares at you as she speaks and yet - you couldn’t help but smirk.    smirk as if it was amusing to you and maybe it was.  you’d swore you wouldn’t hurt her and yet you always came up short. 

           ‶  so go on then, yea?  tell me it is that you hate me.  tell me you think i am rotten.   tell me what i do not already know, yea? ″    eyes study her face, shaking head with a heavy inhale of smoke ; allowing it to linger within before exhaling it sharply. 

        OTHERWORLDLY  WOULD  BE  A  GOOD  WAY  TO  DESCRIBE  HER.     golden  -  halo  of  hair,     .lux  almost  glows  ‘neath  the  ocherous  sunlight  that  expands  over  her  back  and  shoulders.     late  midday  winds  are  warm  enough  that  his  nape  is  damp  with  sweat,     he  bows  over  his  bass  guitar  as  one  would  with  the  good  book,     reverent  in  his  longing  for  pulse  -  based  chords  and  melodies.     HE  PLAYS  AND  SHE  LISTENS,     there’s  nothing  quite  like  the  virtuous  glee  that  spreads  unto  her  face  when  he  plays.     

ah nearly point tae ma chest like an insecure schoolchild being picked on tae write the answer on the board but ah catch maself at the last second in embarrassment and keep the pointer finger down. 

            “   SORRY,   ”

shoulder bumps hers  pretty  hard.  head turns  immediately  to look at who had fallen victim.  eyes are glazed over due to still wanting to be resting peacefully in his own bed  and not the shit place.

  “   didn’t see you there   ...   way too early.   ”     voice falls flat.  monotoned and dead.  tired energy seen so  evidently.

❝        (   . . .   )       alright   ,    you’ve   seen   him.            please   keep   any   positive   comments   to   yourself      ‘cause  i   so   don’t   wanna   hear   ‘em.         i’d    probably  upchuck   that   hot   pocket   i   just   had       &       you   wouldn’t   wanna   do   that   to   me   ,    would   you    ,    lux    ?         ❞
