very drunk on the sidewalk
beer hidden in the snow
took three photos (12AM)
April, soak peas, asparagus
and hauled out old dressers
in the front yard crushing
phlox to raise the beds
Other months: June
a commitment, a compromise
get freckles, get older, July
September, decide to stay.
last night with small plastic cups
and walking home with you (2012)
-Hannah
One year ago waking to tall ceilings
Windows filled with that big blue empty sky
From the floor, stretching shoulder to shoulder
Quiet walk down essex street
The year before snow covered the ground
From across the path watching
You laid on your back, staring at the sky
Singing
Echoing through buildings
Walking closely to keep warm
Into rooms under lights
Hold each other tight
The steam whistles billow white
Playing slightly out of tune
Windows filled with that big blue empty sky
From the floor, stretching shoulder to shoulder
Quiet walk down essex street
The year before snow covered the ground
From across the path watching
You laid on your back, staring at the sky
Singing
Echoing through buildings
Walking closely to keep warm
Into rooms under lights
Hold each other tight
The steam whistles billow white
Playing slightly out of tune
