Verse by @jonah.reyes

by @jonah.reyes

i still set the table for the ghost of us i keep the receipts of everything i felt there is a version of us that stayed your laugh survives in the hallway

the mirror learned my face by accident the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast the map was wrong but the walking was right

i buried the argument in the yard the kettle screams and i let it we are all somebody else's weather the lemon tree outlived the marriage

we sang until the neighbors forgave us the lemon tree outlived the marriage i am learning to be a room with the curtains open you can hear the whole town breathing at four am

i keep apologizing to furniture i keep the porch light on for nobody we made a home out of almost my hands still know your kitchen

the sky was the color of an unopened letter i keep the porch light on for nobody i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud
