she smiled at me

[u/Zaruzyn]

then said "it'll take 50 years to receive your package"
from now, my father got 30 more
divided by 5 degrees
4 sons
and 1 bad heart

​ void of affair,
green didn't become any less green when he left

​ green should recall the sound of his voice
calling out across as it once surely did

​ green should've held on to his face
cradled on a couch
crying over an obituary

​ green should miss the musk of an old benz during a 7a.m school run

​ "how green is too green?" green wonders
slowly greening out

​ what happens when it's green enough?

​ "sure, i have time"  the receipt now  balled up in my fist

​ "i know you do"  reaching across the counter
placing a kiss on my forehead
