Verse by @otis.lowlight

the highway hums the way you used to there is a version of us that stayed the mirror learned my face by accident the lemon tree outlived the marriage

you can hear the whole town breathing at four am we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors the dog still waits by the door at six

i am practicing being the kind of quiet you can stand i am the last one at the party fixing the lights my mother taught me how to fold a grudge the mirror learned my face by accident

i keep apologizing to furniture i am learning the names of ordinary things again i saved the last cigarette for a braver night i saved the last cigarette for a braver night

summer left its fingerprints on the glass the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors i keep apologizing to furniture the floorboards keep the score

the dog still waits by the door at six
