august twenty-first

by Ava Blu

you were unusually clean,
even with a cigarette hanging from your lips,

and i wanted to reach for it
to take in something that had been a part of you

but i was always too dirty.

Well, you've made me put my foot in my mouth once again. Every time I think it can't get any better with you, you come up with something like this. Clever, brutal, a little on the heartbreaking side and just flawless. I sincerely hope you regard this and the whole August series as some of your best work. I honestly don't see how you can top this one, but I'm totally prepared for the likelihood of that.
