twice
i washed my black sweater
still
when i put it on
it smelled like you
i have been through
hundred times worse
bleed my heart out
on a wet concrete floor
picked every daisy
ruthlessly
rootlessly
just recently
parted
from a lifetime
but you
and your scent
in under my skin
i think somehow
you represent
time
and how it changes
everything
what have i lost
what have i gained
i am older now
pull my sweater off
chuck it back into the washer
drown it with laundry detergents
and perfume
when i put it back on
it better not smell of
broken dreams
and anxiety
