LOVE IN MY VEINS: a playlist for aphrodite part one
kids who love everything but themselves, whose love burns their chests red hot and leaves them coughing up ash. cynically lovesick and optimistically heartbroken. lipstick on a burnt out cigarette. a shattered perfume bottle. flipping the hair off your sweaty neck. sucking in your stomach in the mirror. a lost earring on an empty dance floor. the feeling after sex after they’ve left and you’re alone. make up wipes at the end of the night. asking them to stay. freshly painted nails. a first kiss. a last kiss. when you love someone so much you can feel the love in your veins.
STICKY FINGERS / FAKE SMILES: a playlist for hermes
kids who live somewhere but don’t have a home, who feel more comfortable on the road than in any house they’ve ever stepped foot in. runaways and hitchhikers. music loud enough that you can’t think. giving a fake name at a bar. not knowing the name of the motel you’re staying at. broken pills in a ziplock bag. saving up for weekend trips. a loose grin over the last sip of whiskey. half empty bic lighters. the rush of a first hit. blue chipped nail polish. sticky plastic cups lined up on a counter at 4 am. going looking for trouble. pushing your palms into your eyes when you’re about to cry. hot boxing in a stranger’s car. pretending to be someone else. the smell of a thrift store. wrinkled dollar bills. smiling fake and keeping your fingers light in another’s pocket.
