FOUND
I found it in the way my name stumbled out of your mouth like it had weak ankles. / Almost like it had been stuck in the hollows of your cheeks. / But it wasn’t stuck.

The Buckets
The clouds are the same shade of purple as her bruises on her knees / From stumbling around / Drunk. Always drunk
