Reception

she sits

curled up

with a long white shirt

stretched over her knees..

and paints

graffiti items

on the wall she's leaning back against..

so she can feel at home.



"So pull the hood

over your head

to block the silence

of my absence...

and I will do the same

because truth be told,

there's no moonlight in this room

without you...

and I think the walls are coated

with a certain static

laced with tears --

reception is impossible

so I just stare at

the smallish buttons on the phone

until they blur into

arrays of numbers..

and I count the ways I love you.."
