i.
falling in love
in the sleepy-warm space
between spring and summer
has long since grown old
(yet i sill manage it over and over)

ii.
the sun brings freckles as
a warm welcome and
i swear i would kiss them
all if i could

iii.
i make more promises than i
intend to keep
and forget more birthdays
than i remember

iv.
i can't tell if it's better
to spend another night
under the stars with a bottle
of Jamaican taquilla
or sit up to still pretend i'm with you
(i hope i never am)

v.
i still keep one plan buried
in my mind and every time
i open my mouth it
threatens to spill out;
choking thoughts down
has become a past-time

vi.
the dirty orange of
streetlights is never brighter
than when everything
outside the window is
fading

vii.
the beginning of the decline
comes early

Wow. Really dark. It is good for what happens in June though especially with the love. I hope everything goes well there Jay. Still worry about you.
