You asked if I ever dreamed of you
A pretty question for former lovers
even two so marred as we
I wonder if you took my silence

lonely girls
are pretty girls
who sit on empty

waiting for a stranger
to walk by and say
”hey there

your name i
dreamt the
music in your
hips, soothing
tones to collapse
standing armies

give up your
hands, they’re
hers. all they
do is draw maps
to her heart
