hermes: worm out combat boots, old jackets belonging to long dead family members, plane rides over brightly lit cities, a computer screen glowing in the dark because you just have to finish this essay, saying another name at starbucks because they dont know your real one, looking out an office window at the street far, far below. old, old churches next to freshly built skyscrapers, coffee in one hand and phone in the other, plane tickets to nowhere in particular
aphrodite: red lipstick, glasses for the fashion fo them, thrift store dresses, the sound of high heels on marble, a hard drive in a lipstick tube, pastries and coffee on the train to work, first kisses, candle light, old victorian castles and homes, gothic churches, making new friends, birthday balloons, soft voices with words as sharp as a knife, reuniting with old friends, love confessions over text at 3 am, music in your ears as you pass a café
