while waiting in line

Written on 11:01 PM by Unknown


Poppies in heather
hang questions I didn’t
ask when I saw hands
waiting.  They were
narcotic and the glory
of laudanum pressed 
our hearts like glowing
bricks.  But in the end,
you and I are the same:
we want to memorize the
worn cracks of each other’s
faces and black and
white straw in our hair.
Summer was golden
for a few days, but 
forever is soft grey and
holds fast to your 
pen.
