scared? he asks.

scared? he asks.

yes, I say.

of what? he asks.

your smoke

your songs

your sin,

I say.

oh, he says.

my heart; it falls,

I say.

then fall, he says.

unfair, I say.

why? he asks.

will you stay?

I ask.

I can’t, he says.

scared? I ask.

yes, he says.

of what? I ask.

your hair

your heart

your heat,

he says.

oh, I say.

my heart; it falls,

he says.

coward, I say.

his lips, I kiss.
