I count to three and grin.
You smile and let me in.
We sit and watch the wall you painted purple.
Speech will spill on space.
Our little cups of grace.
But pauses rattle on
about the way that you cut the snow-fence,
braved the blood, the metal of those hearts
that you always end up pressing your tongue to.
How your body still remembers
things you told it to forget.
How those furious affections followed you.
I've got this store-bought way
of saying I'm okay, and you learned how to cry
in total silence.
We're talented and bright.
We're lonely and uptight.
We've found some lovely ways to disappoint,
but the airport's almost empty this time of the year,
so let's go play on a baggage carousel.
Set our watches forward
like we're just arriving here
from a past we left in a place we knew too well.
Hold on to the corners of today,
and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed.
Stand still.
Let me scrub that brackish line
that you got when something rose and then receded.
