threw rocks in the water
talked about your brother
and the choices he made
that fuck with your emotions
I talked about my summer
and how it didn’t go as planned
how I’m still unraveling
what I don’t understand
you talked about your mother
she’s a person from a movie
The way she laughs, and talks
and worries about her kids
The way she’s so unassuming
but there’s a gleam in her eye
when she feigns ignorance
You talked about your lover
and the sadness he sinks into
and how he acts his way through
and how you climb out together
with laughter, and wigs, and a party jig
we stayed up all night
til the sky began to brighten
it takes hours to enlighten
when you realize you’re friends
i pulled open the blinds
before i sank into the bed
to glimpse the sun coming up
in all it’s glorious red
