the end

red lips so pretty, he’s like a sin

don’t stare too long, he’ll pull you in

before you know it, you’ll close your eyes

hold in your tears my dear, you’re never too young to die.

“The trees in wind, the streetlights on, / the click and flash of cigarettes / being smoked on the lawn, and just a little kiss before we say goodnight.”

-Richard Siken, Meanwhile

joonmyun reads often. he has coffee rings staining book covers when he accidentally uses them as coasters (wu fan calls him a sorry excuse for a human being) and dark circles under his eyes from neglecting sleep. but he can travel to many places —existing or fiction— without ever having to physically leave home. he could be in london on one page, and a post-apocalyptic city in another book. he lives many different lives in one lifetime and that, he says, is fascinating.
