Music Maps — Dream State

*Music Maps is a writing exercise where songs inspire me to write either real or fictional moments — song is always posted below*

You were telling me about how your father passed away.

And we were illuminated by the light coming off the phone charger plugged into the cigarette lighter

Blue

We saw it coming — the dark, black clouds

Behind you — out the car window — the beach flashed images of its existence from the punches of lightning above

Our bodies blue, flashing skeletons

We were closer — closer than we ever were to each other

On the way home, we spoke of ghosts

And wondered if we would ever haunt anyone.
