anchorage #6
can we stay here forever
and wear the softwood
of the banister
until our palms know every line
and desire something new
like your exacting coffee table in
California
and my white sheets in Sweden
that will pull us farther away
than our dreams ever could conceive
but for now let’s enjoy
the creak in the floorboards
and the leak in the shower
we can’t stay here forever you know
