4/8

trembling

about to taste this

“never been a picky eater” but

this solitude leads you to believe otherwise

these times seem tough

a harsh cough in the night, heard through a wall painted taupe

brie and pesto, carpeted floors

HD tv shows streaming freely

they keep our desires at bay

it only took 3 months, with texts and emails

to get here

the first half of this year

effortlessly erased

unrecoverable and re-imaged

to look and feel like what this is now

30 degree weather

the eternal stench of garlic

foam atop a queen size bed

too big for one

night right for two
