today is for you, but you're not around to make use of it.

[nouvelle_rozu]

Today is a day for ice cream,
Today is a day for tshirts,
Today is a day for wrapping my arms around you and
pulling you to the grass
between giggles.

Today instead I sit below ground,
Today instead I watch the world through a square,
Today instead I zip up my sweatshirt and my arms mimic yours,
your arms folded skeletal
between cement slabs.
