We walked through pale yellow daisies, a red ribbon wrapped around your neck, as black birds cawed in the distance and cicadas sang in the treeline. With storm clouds in your eyes, the wind picked up dust, surrounded us, and the daisies wilted because it was October; the frost had come.

My bed stays warm Sunday mornings but when I hold a door for an elderly woman and her walker it is for the smile.

I saw him at Denny's: two a.m. Tuesday sitting alone in the corner booth slowly dragging Hot Wheels over napkin ramps; his eyes quick to the door at every open. The pancakes were bland.

It's two a.m. - the bars just closed. I sit, wrapped in a black hoodie and wonder if the black ice caught you by surprise this time as his hand explored your skirt prepping his night cap. Did you find another brown haired, green eyed mother ****** who reminds you of our faded picture stashed in your sock drawer? I hope not. Happy birthday.

It's two a.m. and a distant siren bellows through the flurries. The bars just closed. I sit, wrapped in the hoodie you gave me years ago wondering if the black ice caught you by surprise while his hand was up your skirt prepping his night cap. Did you find another brown hair, green eyed mother ****** who reminds you of that faded picture stashed in your sock drawer? I hope it wasn't you the siren sings for tonight. Happy Birthday.

I tripped into a wall cloud. (I think I broke it open.) A funnel fell from the bottom upon a farmhouse in Nebraska spread across an open field - a mile wide swallowing the pasture in one gulp - and tossed stones from the top. (Like snow in August) There were no survivors.

I smile when I come to bed and the sheets are wrapped all around because you insist the thermostat must be 70 degrees because you sleep better in the cold.
