after that.



i looked for you in the sky
in clouds that held shapes, signs

something- god,  anything
to tell me you were okay.

i worshipped the dreams i had
of you,

replayed them like they were
my only salvation.


but i was exposed, hungry
like a yellow-tinted shade of green
of a four-leaf clover that wasn’t lucky.

i was on nerves, unlaced;
a dress shattered, partied in and
cried in afterwards.
