Pieces
Sep 22, 2021
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.
