Bar X

Had my face stayed one
Had I not lost my job
Had I not ******
The tattoo artist

I would not have travled
Down the city
45 minutes from home
Total strangers

One night
Had my arms heavy
Without you
Vision blurred behind your glasses
One night
One week before you go

White sheets glowing in sun
You wake me
With your soft voice
You fell asleep on my belly

Day four
Three more to go
My arms will stay heavy
I'll use your flannel to keep them up
