New poetry for the end of the the year from Hannah LeGris!
34.
he bought me topo chico
I touched his wrist
people asked
where do we live
together, for how long
and when did we move
here, I was leaving the next day
we had never been
we had never been
two seasons had passed
he took a bite of my
breakfast
I bought him ice cream
I bleached his sink
I kissed his shoulder
I left
