LXXIV. i'm sorry.

53 11 8
                                    

i gather the gold up
from the floor and see
that garden glimmering
in the lamplight over the harbour.
i see her sleeping in the field of rye
while i dip my fingers in the mud and sand,
you are by my side
and it's funny that we might have been the friends
who did each other's hair
and talked and laughed for hours.
we crouch to consider the boys
who fucked us over (royally)
but my heart still aches
to see him.
and i'm still dreaming
of those red streams
when i can't escape the tears
for those years that are lost.
