another borrowed muse

her jeans are old.
but she was not.


the pockets worn.
in the shape of an iPhone 11.
her zipper has wear and tear, too.


she makes quiet mornings loud.
for a spell.


we write winter poems.
order pizza.
watch Christmas Vacation.


it is perfect.
it holds some fell purpose.


we are both irredeemable.
do you want a drink, she asked?
no, I said, I ain't got the time.
