an inexplicable urge to dance alone

it's 3am and it's raining because of course it is and
1AL-90
CODE​-915913


you're standing outside a club with a cigarette listening to the music emanating, coming to you distorted by distance and layers, and
2Untrance
Deleted Seniors


the feeling of atomisation and some kind of fundamental disconnect with the joyous twirl of bodies
3Organ Tapes
WORDS FALL TO GROUND


shimmering and rippling before your eyes, oscillating oil-black puddle
4Omar S
Just Ask the Lonely


washes over you, uninvited to this gathering, unwelcome
5Usher
Hard II Love


you make a token effort to dance but the pills have worn off, fuck knows where your friends have gone, you checked your pocket earlier at you're out and you feel so conscious of dancing, of the way you body is moving and mingling among others,

memories resurface

Kafka Fragments, Op. 24


sometimes you wake up and you feel the unmistakable imprint of another person on you, a shape that fits into yours, so you turn over to cuddle but instead

14Aaron Dilloway
Modern Jester


the phantasmal command the streets you walk tonight, taking the form of fog and shape of incorporeal murmurs. the disembodied chorus has receded. it's you fighting through the ghouls tonight, and only when that's been achieved
15Arthur Russell
