Fresh Pome: Soup

[braz_king]

Soup

Came back from the Staten Island
Ferry with you
Good intention and friendship and
Horrible longing
Back to the hostel, you off to bed
Sick and needing the
Horizontal, blanket warmth, loss of
Consciousness, soundless
Rest - I need… I listen to my iPod
And think
About fantasizing in the shower
But change
My wet socks instead, head back out
Into February storm
To find warm soup for whenever it is
You wake up.
