Kristin LaTour
Possible
cheap words fell from your lips to my chest
perfume that's mostly alcohol
and evaporated as soon as they hit my skin
even your head resting on my shoulder
was so light,
a small brown bird with dirty feet
dead leaves skittered across the asphalt
the cold wind pushed through
the cracks in the window sill
your compliments skimmed
over me
like yellow clouds across the gray moon
