Terrifying Things
#1: My reading tonight
#2: The GMAT next week
#3: Josh threatening to ask me out as I assist him in breaking his “korean girl cherry” thing.
Frankly.
I’m going to have nightmares.
FLASHBACK
** New Poem inspired during my trip **
Cambridge
It’s quiet now
And looking out the window
Framed by the feathery leaves of willows
Grey stillness
Illuminated by sallow streetlights
And an absent moon
I envy your ability to consider such things ordinary.
While my breath is shallow,
Smothered by January blankets
You sigh heavy in unrestless slumber.
Beneath the window,
red ivy stretches over speckled stone paths
leading only to this door
and you consider these things common.
As I scratch the inside of your elbow with a kiss
You awaken with a look that tells me
I’ve been impolite.
