refer to the flavor
of sidewalk hearts.
refer the patience
of hand-drawn maps.
I don't care
that you don't care,
thank you for breathing out.
the tears of the good
will never reach the shore.
all your dreams
get swept up with the leaves,
by the wind,
and end up under my fingernails.
I gained rifles for a while.
you and you gained loops.
from this rooftop seat,
we danced all over town.
we are warm apostrophes.
