Wake up in a slight daze like the hanging haze when something in the kitchen is burning but it’s the fog of hangovers, dizzying post nights flash cards of kisses, songs, and maybe tears
all kinds of parts of me ache with bruises and bite marks there’s opened chasers, flung boots, bottles under the bed I spot your red lipstick imprinted on ashed cigarettes and beer cans and when I go take a ****, I discover your ******* in my pocket
I see your text, “Home. Had a blast. Miss ya! ***” and I am no longer haunted by some vague lingering feeling that somehow this was a ****** scene instead of our raw rituals of love
was going to entitle it "aftermath"- what say the gallery?
