Dry Season


bridge to nowhere
lousy git gone square
said he'd motel hunt then whiskey his neck
sideways with me. We don't kiss.
We don't kiss unless I'm more gone than when I care.
We change our names. Wear feather boas,
imagine cue ball suicides & fashion suspension bridges
in our heads that'd take 10-15 years tops to
ribbon cutting ceremony. But Wallace skipped town on me.
He found a new juice & speaks less desperately. Roots and all now.
Making his own 'hood now.
