the summer we got together, we had nothing better to do. in the autumn, the sun got low and so did i. in the winter, you got cold and we froze. in the spring, my inhibitions melted and flooded the apartment i took the trash out in my barefeet. i came back inside with glass in my toes. if you’re going to bleed, you said, bleed out the window. i left ****** footprints all over the carpet. you were so angry, you ****** on everything we had i put it all in the washer, even our bodies. when we were clean you looked like a stranger but i would still leave with you.
