Mixtapes

Poetry

We're sitting on your back steps,

Having a post-fuck cigarette.

Gentle breezes blow our smoke across the stars.

I'm shivering in only a black skirt and Converse,

Soft, small breasts bouncing beneath my shirt.

I know I am whole every time I do it.

You made me a tape of all our favorite songs,

Ozzy and Led Zep, Lemmy and Kerry

These are the paradigms of our years,

The soundtrack to our desires.
