her magenta marker
the silent clock
my desk, now darker
with dust like chalk.
his name in my phone
my swimming mind
his teeth were like moonstone,
mouth open that night.
he doesn't live near me,
near this town of grey
where he lives, it's sunny
i checked it today.
i'd forgotten about him
i thought it was gone
that feeling, like wind
the shadows stretched long.
now i say i'm cold
as she smiles at me
her glass voice sounds old
she smells like dignity.
her necklace is opal
her laughter is fear
the class isn't over--
i just want him near.
