she said....
she said happy words all swimmingly and i forgot the time, the space, the hearts in parentheses. magic of a friendship, magic of dinner table nostalgias, vegetarian lasagnas.

If love was a baby baby bird she'd migrate south in this cold winter storm of snow, and come back in the summer to a place she knows. My love carries a blanket and drops it scared in the rain. Understands the pain that comes of diving into the concrete face scraped dream.

I had weird dreams last night. I yelled in them. I made love in them. I reasoned, I found out about true friends, i wanted them to never end.

days days days days days, and red dress buttons fat whole milk stains on clumsy fumbling me.
to be, estoy
to be, joy.
