,,,,~~*%¶# crimes mostly from or in my beloved and #¶%*~~,,,,
,~=**%&¶## trusted car, and sometimes my mothers ##¶&%**=~,
,,,,~~*%¶# barn. we lived just outside town, a #¶%*~~,,,,
,~=**%&¶## grove at the end of a dirt road, and ##¶&%**=~,
,~=**%&¶## the barn was placed so you could just ##¶&%**=~,
,,,,,,,=*& make out the surrounding fields through &*=,,,,,,,

,,,,,=*&&& my car was black and loud, both the &&&*=,,,,,

,,,=***%&& crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the &&%***=,,,
,~=**%&&¶¶ eternal dark that seemed to surround ¶¶&&%**=~,
,~=**%&¶## us. she seemed to cast this veil over ##¶&%**=~,
,~=**%&¶## everything. her black skirt reached to ##¶&%**=~,
,,,=***% her knees but then somehow also back #&%***=,,,
,~=****%¶# around, enveloping all my memories of #¶%****=~,
,,,,~**%¶# our time together. #¶%**~,,,,
,~=**%&¶¶# #¶¶&%**=~,
,,,,=***%& there was blood everywhere. sometimes &%***=,,,,
,,,,~=**%¶ the blood was her red lipstick or her ¶%**=~,,,,
,,,,,,,=*& checkered shirt. she was on television. &*=,,,,,,,
,~=**%&¶## we did crime, and we made weird ##¶&%**=~,
,~=***%%¶¶ structures in the barn, tall pillars of ¶¶%%***=~,
,,,,,=*%¶# dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires #¶%*=,,,,,
,~=====* and fairy lights. we would sleep there #&*=====~,
,,,,,,~*%¶ and drink there and she would go in the ¶%*~,,,,,,
,,,,~*%&¶¶ television. ¶¶&%*~,,,,
,~=**%&¶## ##¶&%**=~,
,,,~***&&¶ and then the sun came out, and she went ¶&&***~,,,

,,,~~=**%¶ and the world became dull around me. ¶%**=~~,,,
,,,,~*%%%& &%%%*~,,,,

,~=**%¶### my mother said i kept to myself in the ###¶%**=~,
