Another Cabernet haze allows me
to love you unabashedly without
overthinking the emotional
consequences tomorrow might bring
Feeling like an embarrassed guest visiting
your private Waterford-word crystal showroom
and keeping my negligee stakes to a minimum
thinking you might fold when you tire of my
rabbit mouth sewed by a two month old incurable cold
I wanted to keep our linen aired out in the open
and ironed straight so that my friends
wouldn't discard me like yesterdays *******,
but the truth is it's all ego stroke and mirrors
that are going to crash as hard as I will
when they finally break
