Kristen de Kline #179 # some days

# some days
I did everything I could

to make it right 
         again

on the last mile home
I looked up at skies,

thundering and concrete
dropped your heart 
           again
 
walked over falling rain
wished on run-away stars

# some days
I picked your heart up 
          again
carried it close to my own

can I hear you breathing?

# some days, it’s
not the posts that Facebook sends
not letters,   flickering
on the neon Coke sign at the Cross
not bodies,    peaking on 'e'
hot and sweating, splashed
across the ABC telecast:
Happy Mardi Gras!

#some days, I
just want    you

to pour me a drink
and tell me

everything’s
going to be alright

      some days
      under the eaves
      living in the rain
      out the back of Lawless ....
