ANOTHER GREY DAY

the candle is going out 

tell me it’s okay 

the shadow moves up the wall

geraniums bloom 

i rest my head on your shoulder in my head 

cold air seeps through the cracks 

i’ve had five bloody noses since we returned 

please tell me a story i want to hear 

stars fall and night fades

another new day and how do i feel 

rearrange the living room 

and everything will be okay
