goodbye.
Our backlit lives seeping through,
the light bends around you
and softens the blows
1, 2, fuck you
swallowed up in pretense
a faltering gait bonded us
like a hair stuck in your bubblegum
or my cheek on your chest in a heat wave
or the silt swept into the gutters after a thunderstorm
or just you
and me
basking in between a light
the night
and a cold sweat beading down our chests
