i meant to tell you a story once
it may be stale now
but it’s three people
in a smoky apartment
running lines, changing words
embellishing & polishing
the confidence in camaraderie
day after day i felt stronger &
more alive & ready to stretch.
goddamn it was beautiful. us
kids cooking a meal together
you did this
it’s our story now
all of it
and i still feel like i’m doing right
putting down words
embellishing, polishing
running, changing
maybe i haven’t said enough thanks
but you got both of my feet
through the door
mattress dungeon
