how real by Emily Davidsonwe've got a secret
hiding under our denim
and we can see it in a
glance, exchanged for a moment, or in a
breath, breathed out of rhythm.
you gave me a look;
a sort of
half-smile
or dirty grin.
but it was beautiful nonetheless,
and i swore to myself
that i could live off of looks like those. 01/17/2004 Posted on 01/17/2004 Copyright © 2025 Emily Davidson
