I loved the city
one raspberry vodka
120mph motionless down I-94,
the skyline splattered by lights
like the fireflies
we used to catch in the suffocating woods
my New Jersey summers
your dragon clouds
even in your oblivion, the mornings after we'd
fuck
I believed I could use a different word
I'd love to
rip you apart, down to the marrow of your bones
and hear that story
again of how you got your scar
I loved the city because you
were the city
and I was lost
