\nfor the nostalgia
\nof gone love. A noun.
\nRazbliuto<\/em>. \u00a0It has the bite
\nof a Corona taken easy or mouths
\nscarfed in the throat of the wind,
\nbut it doesn\u2019t taste of us. Our one-bed
\nbasement flat where vinyl spun<\/p>\n
\nwe rarely slept. The radiator\u2019s click
\nwas long grass, rusting all the browns
\nof the heath but the only bleeding
\nyou did was post-shave. Nights,
\nwe watched shoe soles trip-trapping
\nover our bridge, imagined the tread
\nof rubber on our lips. You taught me<\/p>\n
\nhow a lick sours when it dawdles
\nribcage to neck. Funny, how I\u2019ve lost
\nmy grip on you, certain sounds slipping.
\nThe bum note in your cough. I never
\ngot my length in that bed. I still think
\nabout your fingers: concertina nails,
\nchewed to the quick.<\/p>\n
