so apparently, i kinda-sorta-maybe remember how to write poetry
so here goes...
Cold
She watches me
Eyebrow raised
Eyes and hands clutch
Warm sheets against us
Between us
Cold rain
Lashes the beach outside
I walked with you
Retraced the steps, his betrayal
In the cold rain
With you
Caught and killed your ghost
For you
But her eyebrow stays raised
Her warm flesh
Won't bend to mine
She doesn't like the cold
Of my ten thousand ghosts

Kitchen
I would have loved you in the kitchen
Would have snuck-up behind you
To place an electric kiss
On the back of your neck
As you chopped tomatoes
(That was our first kiss.)
I would have loved you in the kitchen
On the counter maybe
Breakfast in bed
Pleasantly interrupted
With sparks of an impromptu tangle
Cornflakes forgotten
I would have loved you in the kitchen
While you were making a health shake
Complaining about your diet
The state of your eyebrows
And why I was not going to stay for lunch
Somewhere in the snowy mountains
A butterfly flapped its wings
And the momos I remember you for
Unwrapped themselves into
Hungry corpses
And settled down for dinner with us
I know I could love you
But I'm so far away now
And can't seem to catch your eye
Across the crowd in the kitchen
