Verse by @wilder.june

the lemon tree outlived the marriage you never asked and i never stopped answering the kettle screams and i let it your laugh survives in the hallway

i buried the argument in the yard i left the door unlocked for a season your laugh survives in the hallway i keep the receipts of everything i felt

i buried the argument in the yard you left your jacket on the chair like a promise i saved the last cigarette for a braver night the birds do not know we broke up

i am learning to be a room with the curtains open i speak to the version of you that listens we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast i left the door unlocked for a season

the highway hums the way you used to the radio only plays the parts i remember the birds do not know we broke up the cold got into the bones of the house
