Written by Malisa Anne

 

I watched the sky turn 

pink on my own tonight, no grey in sight

 

Leaves on the trees swayed to the music of the cars 

one by one driving home, or to work

maybe to some bar where they could run into you 

find you sitting, drink in hand 

same ol’ Hendricks and tonic

 

Here I am, still sitting on the concrete slab I call “front yard”

The air around me traces the shape of your voice 

I know you’re telling some story I’ve heard a million times

My lips burn tasting your phantom gin

while the sunset cradles me 

in a way only you and the sky can
