: a gift i wish i'd given
sitting in an empty room (
zoo tiger in his faux domain
). my last glass is always alone
after everyone is done with
laughter & farewells wiping off
mascara in houses across town
. she is already asleep in fits;
we are both alone; upstairs & down
. did i build this cage to keep
me safe or another way around?
all others come and go;
i won't make a single sound, only
silently after they are gone
i'll wish i'd given them
flowers for the road.
