Always blissful
Always blissful in those clear-eyed years
Grief was an unknown then
We were gold in
In each other's*****t, we drank air
We drank air.
That first time the rain ran down like
Silver needles
Your wet umbrella left rivers on my painted gray floors.
Nervously you said 'Good afternoon'
When it was nearly night.
And so in that chilly, half-empty room
We found a way to live in our skins again
Psychedelic, very pink
Carpets and sheets of
Paper flowers
Ran down the damaged walls,
A delicious frosting as we rocked,
We rocked borrowed beds.
