I said I loved you As big as the moon hanging low over the Pru that night I touched your face in the corridor park and walked past the path home Took the long way through the trees like you taught me to. Through it all I heard you whispering Nevermind, whatever it is. I could never explain it anyway. You blew the smoke of your old cigarettes into my mirrors to hide your reflection. That’s it, but I felt something like claws at my face at every episode. That evening the moon hung low, as if to say, I am this close to waning & it was a sign. I wept that night til the sound of birds & drunk girls at the party next door puddled into each other That lost and late evening you never found what you were looking for & I got lost in the dawn.
