Lust/Love Letter
Shane-
Yesterday, I think I just couldn't do anything right. I think I am falling- cutting corners, not paying attention to where I am going or if I am going anywhere. (Lately, everything's been so aimless)I think I am falling- when I walk down stairs, the keys always slip from my hands. I think I am falling in love with you. You are in my every step, every whisper, every tear dripping like honey. I think of you- when I light my cigarettes, when I jam the key in the lock (and recall you entering me), when I wash the soap off the dishes, when I lick a popsickle, when I sing 'dear prudence', when I look in the mirror and see myself and wish I saw you, when I bite my nails, when I drive my car, when I put on my shoes, when I dial your number and hang up, because I don't want to talk (I just want to hear you breathe), when I play my casettes,when I quit my job, when I look out the window and sit on the fire escape and call your name out to Texas, when I watch you not watching me. There is nothing more I can say.
with you always-
Zoe
