we stayed inside that night swishing cold drinks around with our tongues letting it drown out the ringing we heard and stop the sweat gathering between our fingers and you grabbed me playfullly while i was sitting in the blue chair i hope you remember that i stared at myself in the bathroom afterwards later that night standing there reciting bukowski to my swollen eyes and broken jaw my lipstick was blending in with my flushed cheeks and i remember you were going to kiss it entirely off of me in one sitting and i swear i was going to let you until i started thinking about my nylons ripping and my shyness unmasking itself as some mental illness and that stranger walking in and shouting telling you there is a mountain to be climbing and a song to be written and a friend to be helping and you’re trying with this girl? she’s terrified of birds just cause they have the capability to do what she cannot flee— she wants yellow but it’s dark green needs pills to be civil and wine to be social she wants nights not days she just wants the rain she wants the rain the rain and the rain every single day and you and i both know we have no control over the sun
