Friday night you feed me
shots of bourbon and dusty hardbacks of classic fiction. East of Eden reads to you like gospel. Later I dig my nails into the timshel inked across your back. Polaroids line the walls around your bed; blurry captures of a brunette grinning in winter clothes. Before you touch me, you tell me she’s in Paris. Come morning, your lips still stuck to my neck, you murmur the wrong name. We wear the same perfume.
