I miss you

[aspaceopera]

last night I was drunk on melissa's porch
and I wanted to be at helio's
a year ago
when our lips were
"just friends"

and today, I was at my house
no ac
Air thicker than dog breath

Matt's traffic jam of a life
growing mildew
in my bathroom
on the couch
outside under pot smoke
in the garage

and I wanted to be in georgia
going to school
to learn how to write
about you
in georgia
going to school

and I want our house to have nice rugs
our dog respects

and your smell
in every room
denser in your kitchen

and we never have to sweep
and we have cable
and your parents come over
and compliment the decor
and bring me ashtrays as house warming gifts
so long as I only smoke on the patio
writing poems about
Uncle bud
smoking on the patio

The Atlantic Ocean lapping at the state line

The dunes taking deep breaths
as you walk them
in a one peice
you made

and our home
rests confidently
comfortable
with us
