Softener is a project about childhood memories. Here is one for example.  

A pink sky is a sincere sight for the evening. 

Pink fields black rockies whitewash window panes the first time you feel an airplane land is somewhere in transit and somewhere on the planet below is the house you grew up in but these demonstrations go one mile down for ten years gained still listing names for I was to blame but no one was at fault for the guarantee in a good aimless day spent in pale pools and the modular hum deep in a bad dream. I don’t know how to describe the sensation. Here is a common dream: You are in bed, about to fall asleep, when the sensation of falling between one and ten thousand feet brakes you awake. Hold that and turn it sideways and now thrust it through a pitchless tube wide enough to fit your twin size bed and your single walnut nightstand and your ceiling and floor but small, nasal still. The rushing sensation (remember the fall) is something like a hill or rainstorm compressed til clear water is like a white cannon but the color is entirely pitchless and soundless though deafening, and I have to amend the sensation to be honest with you it was both something coming forwards and you going forwards and instead of a dream, it was something I was at fault for not to be blamed but to put blame back in its place (each thing having a place) and it occurred when I would visit thoughts of the unavoidable or maybe it was more like I would hide but still let open the door when they came to visit me. Nothing bad has ever happened to me, except for opening doors, and then having nowhere to put it but hold it. When the plane passes over where I grew up I will trick myself into thinking I recognize that parking lot or that arrangement of house lights. When I was seven years old and I was at the beach and it was time to go home I saw a big pickup truck with bright lights driving out into the ocean, the same kind of pickup that your incorporated village or town would have for cutting down trees and I tried to follow it and no one would believe me that it was- dark green with big black wheels and lights like two twin suns or bright eyes that did not see me. Through the peephole I can tell you there is a pink field and a light sky and a big plume of black smoke sans sensation, sans rhythm and movement no ebb and bloom (with the same pale tone that I tell you one million sunny days could defeat an eclipse the way you imagined back then) of the regular ill smoke that suggests fire. Wooden furniture and cotton bed sheets will go up in flames before I do because I have spent the day in pale pools and the deep end of a bad dream. If I could have a do over I would treat you the way I want to be treated.
because I have spent the day in pale pools and the deep end of a bad dream. If I could have a do over I would treat you the way I want to be treated.
If I was to stop and be honest and stop and think it over I would tell you a story about the trees that used to line this street and I remember how you described them as an endless forest though I’ve forgotten how they looked to me only recalling how you spoke of them and then I construct an image based on what you have said regardless of truth and regardless of all I return to the beach and in the fourth grade with my one-year-limit best friend who lived in walking distance we went to the beach for the last time and I haven’t been back since. I remember you standing with your back to me and your flip flops, I’m guessing, out of frame, a memory I constructed from a photograph on my dad’s iPhone 5, a construction though not false, because you were there, and I was there, and we did go to the beach that day, and we stood in my backyard while I tried to get you to play a game on the computer with me but in the couple weeks in the summer that you’d been away you’d grown up without me and this was the last time I would see you, and I found your page and I sent you a message but I deleted it, you’ve been away for too many weeks once you consider how many weeks are in a year and how many years it’s been since I was ten years old.
