sunset(tle in)

cobweb filament shatters 
over your knuckle 
dust dissolving in a sunlight fountain 

catnap in a creaky pink 
recliner arms around 
the girl who writes you love notes 
orange glow through the 
crack between curtain and window

red light on your mouth, 
in her hair, warming posters on the walls 
holes in your blanket bunched up in the corner chapstick kiss on your forehead

what color are my eyes tonight, love?

black like the sky now

goodnight,
goodnight.

  1. Love to write

    I really like this and can't exactly decide why. Maybe its because it's all over the place, like you're trying to describe a million things at once. You do it really elegantly.

    Life is not a paragraph.

    thank you so very much. your comment sort of encapsulates how i feel about this piece too. of course i know what it’s about, but when i forget where i wrote it, and look at it from an outside perspective, it really makes no sense.
