séance dispatch #43
remember that night
with the liquor
& piano music
i mean
the one where i got
conspicuously sticky
& you offered me
your shower
the one where
afterwards
i kissed my first boy
in the basement
while you made margaritas
upstairs
remember
i mean
the night you slept
on the pullout
with me
the night i woke shirtless
at 4am
your hand
on my chest
remember how
you asked me
to dinner the next day
& i went
& you
just smiled through it
through the soup
& the salad
& the chocolate
mousse
& i could see
there was a small light
growing inside you
& i was too afraid
to tell you
the light growing
inside me
was different
& i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m sorry
i’m
sorry
