it’s cold now. it was warmer back in january, the sky was made of bleach, falling on our heads and christening us angels. i put a *** of water on for tea, take out a pick, and carve out iceblocks to hold the moon in. a bird is painted into the snowbanks, its eyes popping from the force of july’s fever. giving up on the idea of mac and cheese or chicken noodle soup, something substantial, i order chinese takeout. the deliveryman’s lips are purple. i eat it cold, like it’s meant to be.
