Another glass (bodega red)— Christmas lights, all buzz-eyed bokeh— I want you close, my nervous tic, my lunar love, Cassiopeia— this holiday I said too much, I made a fool of both of us— but I don’t drink to disappear— I drink to kiss my fearless lover.

A Crutch for Courage
Another glass (bodega red)— Christmas lights, all buzz-eyed bokeh— I want you close, my nervous tic, my lunar love, Cassiopeia— this holiday I said too much, I made a fool of both of us— but I don’t drink to disappear— I drink to kiss my fearless lover.
I love you, with or without the wine.
