1.1

I miss being in love
and not feeling like the world
is crashing in around my
shoulders all the time:
it seemed so firm not so long
ago, when the earth
seemed to have its
axis in your spine
and everything turned
on that succulent fulcrum:
back when every tune
was something to
listen to and
judge wanting in light
of our conversations,
how we would
explore the tundra and
the desert and the rainforest
in the span of an hour:
how I wrapped my arms around
you and called you safe,
and how you turned
suddenly to the side
and disappeared.

    Speaking of mixed up… if you replace a few letters, “Laura” becomes “confused”.

    I can’t even argue with that statement, L., cuz it’s completely true. Chris is very mushy. Like an overripe peach. Only not as peachy…
