Verse by @poppy.mires

i still set the table for the ghost of us i wore your city like a borrowed coat i am learning to be a room with the curtains open nothing holy ever asked for my name

i keep the porch light on for nobody i left the door unlocked for a season i still set the table for the ghost of us the tape hissed where your voice should be

i love you in the tense that has no word i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands the dog still waits by the door at six summer left its fingerprints on the glass

you left your jacket on the chair like a promise i keep the porch light on for nobody
