you have brownsville girl
i
keep positively
4th street
in postcards.

there is a foot
between us
and a pit
of old
hardcore kids
sweating out
our sickness
at webster hall.

Quicksand
your hands.
on my waist
and
on my hips
and
oh
we have not
been here before.

5 years
of fishing in Alaska
and
5 years
of knitting in New York
and
tonight
is ours.

soon?
please.
