this morning, i un-

this morning, i un-
plugged the instant pot before
twisting off its top.

you scold me for being careless –
you are stifling its song

we’ve been here before –

we’ve been here before –
six days before christmas and
not yet home – somehow,

it feels different, homeward bound
plays in the distance, with teeth

nothing moves you like

nothing moves you like
an old song – when dolly plucks
a posy from her

own mama’s collection, we
collide with an entire history

sunday evening,

not in my time, but

not in my time, but
perhaps another’s, we will
be borderless, like

the song – bluebirds flying over
the rainbow, why can’t we all?

between thirty-four

between thirty-four
and forty-eight, we are
celebrating birthdays
in the east village
tonight, stringing the
eighties to the nineties
from the jukebox in
the corner. most of us
will become more
repetitive with
time – for now, we
will rely on
booze and song

after so much time

after so much time
has passed between
us, we still
imagine we
will meet there,
beneath that tree,
like a song,
so purposefully
accidental
