unexpected
by Anastasia Selbythree weeks now
I've known you,
I always moved too fast.
Five days we laid in bed together
I pulled your arms to my skin
and the alcohol soaked the sheets
from our sweat.
What can I do?
Your brother shot himself
and you collapsed.
I want to comfort you
but there are issues I have to contend with.
It rained all year I lost the last one. 12/19/2007 Posted on 12/20/2007
