The 17/18 Poems 36: Kelly
Posted in 17/18 poems on February 22nd, 2021 by buzzing wire – Be the first to commentI hear Kelly, I do Kelly
not so much saved
as salvaged
until I couldn’t
I couldn’t
just for the moment
I’m saying
spell comfort
C-O-M-F-O-R-T
this plan is about envy
this play is about summer’s prices
a cock will burn down this city
a Minneapolis in the purple rain
we’re gussied up for the going down
I want to see Kelly
I want her to know
that hate, cold as it is
is only love’s winter
