took you long enough
it’s friday & freezing
we had our heart-to-heart in the alley, finally,
the bruised sky making no excuses, its few stars
content to hang around alone and as
they burned against the night and you spoke i thought
well, it’s about time,
because it is and you should know that,
not that it’s ever easy. you should know that too.
in another place and time, what would i do?
