bad week but good drinks with friend sex. she gave me a clover keychain and kissed my head
’cause “bad things get Better.”
red eyes are hard to see through gray thumbprints smudging my clover. slept all week on the couch. it’s sunken in and sinks deeper during makeup sex. she thumbs our clover after
’cause “bad things get Better.”
light walk but heavy rain, carcinogenic globs wriggling like sperm down the clover, washing away old prints, so new ones might come
’cause “bad things get Better.”
