Popcorn

i befriended the monster today.

i didn't know that he was considered a monster,

most monsters are in storybooks,

they're big and hairy.

I dream about you still,  
do you dream of me? 

It is no grand affair, these dreams 
not of your smile, your hands, your kindness 

your cruelty 

Three months is too long

to hold onto hope,

But here I am clutching it in my fist

like it's my very will to live. 

I need to set it free,

I'll watch it fly across the sky,
