i’ll take your days. soft-served smiles, spinach omelets, littered love unselfish, spooned into mismatch mugs. hold the nights. hurricanes of suffocating heat, hurled words, the clinging, the pushing, pulling our living room battlefield off-center. can i handpick parts of you? can i ask you where you think you’re headed? and me, stumbling down the same old paths my mother paved, working finger to the bone, no splay of skin to take a kiss on except the cold shoulder, the turned cheek.
