Verse by @bram.ellery

i left the door unlocked for a season i put my grief in a drawer with the batteries i am the last one at the party fixing the lights i love you in the tense that has no word

the cold got into the bones of the house we were young and the light was cheap there is honey in the bottom of the bad years i saved the last cigarette for a braver night

the sky was the color of an unopened letter i am learning the names of ordinary things again the highway hums the way you used to the sky was the color of an unopened letter

i saved the last cigarette for a braver night the sea does not remember any of our names the radio only plays the parts i remember we were young and the light was cheap

the kettle screams and i let it i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands i saved the last cigarette for a braver night you were a rumor i believed twice

there is honey in the bottom of the bad years the kettle screams and i let it the kettle screams and i let it we are all somebody else's weather
