every writer's nightmare

I just lost an entire document of my writing drafts and fragments in Evernote. I don’t know what happened they just all disappeared and there is nothing I can do even with the undo button.

I’m really upset. And I just wrote the longest prose poetry I’ve written in a while. I can’t even cry right now because I’m just too frustrated.

I was about to sleep. No peace for me tonight :(

who paved the road

i once knew a man
who only danced on pavements

we learned how to tango
in this country
even when we could not
stay upright
because our feet
are a patchwork

our heels are a heartbreak
its cracks a phantom continent
a relic home
for us
barefoot dancers
forced to twirl on asphalt
with drills and cranes
