Pieces

Droplets of paint
red, red and red
on the steps of this brownstone
three drops
one for each day you sat there
brush in hand

empty pack of Marlboros
soggy, plastered to the sidewalk

corner shop
overpriced milk
you hated the cheap one
I wish we could fight over it
one more time

pieces of you
pieces of you
in just one block.
