What We Are
March 11, 2017
We gulped down the night
stars like floss between our teeth
we are strung out Christmas lights
messy and spilling from the darkness
Children look at us glow and wonder
what it took to get us lit
You storm and flood my mind
the heart can turn over so heavy sometimes
I could gag that night up
I could splatter it out but the pavement
is empty of our moments together
the melancholy and the tragic
my glossy-lame love and bleak broken heart
we are a series of unaddressed letters
with watermarks streaking down the pages
