six months late, a useless abort:
I pressed down on the escape key
and turned the ignition. waiting
for the operator to speak on the line I dial
your disconnected number and wonder
what my fingers remember. they twitch
involuntarily, fondly. nothing cures, even
your downcast figure diluted through the peephole - Tom
doesn’t peep here anymore.

this is friends-only.
leave me love letters.
