Verse by @shiloh.pike

i traded my quiet for a louder kind of quiet you never asked and i never stopped answering i put the whole year in one suitcase we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast

every train sounds like leaving from here i keep apologizing to furniture i am learning the names of ordinary things again i keep the porch light on for nobody

the field went gold then went to sleep there is a version of us that stayed the map was wrong but the walking was right your laugh survives in the hallway

your laugh survives in the hallway the cold got into the bones of the house the dog still waits by the door at six i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud

i wore your city like a borrowed coat we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast the church bell is just a bell on tuesdays i love you in the tense that has no word
