Verse by @mara.holloway

the radio only plays the parts i remember nothing holy ever asked for my name we made a home out of almost i speak to the version of you that listens

you left your jacket on the chair like a promise the floorboards keep the score the church bell is just a bell on tuesdays winter came in through the window we never fixed

i keep the porch light on for nobody i love you in the tense that has no word i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands the bus came and i did not get on

i keep the porch light on for nobody i keep the porch light on for nobody the calendar keeps making promises i put the whole year in one suitcase

you left your jacket on the chair like a promise we made a home out of almost i counted every streetlight home i keep the porch light on for nobody

i speak to the version of you that listens the dog still waits by the door at six the mirror learned my face by accident
