october, night
dear beauty,
it was nice to see you hanging. i don't yet know my plans for christmas but brooklyn is sounding mighty tempting. your poem came to me tonight, for reasons both lovely and painful.
exes and ohhs,
beauty

yes the snow will fall
spring come in
how do you say it?
like a lion, out, a lamb
summer will stick to us
we’ll get a new fan
a fly swatter
lie naked again
our window’s view
will change a hundred
times a hundred more
but tonight heart
plump and red
you beat perfect
tonight heart
you have never been wrong
never wronged
sweet apple
go go
