Love, Families, Bears, Shoes

the moon in the window
the story of a war —
[ ]just one story, always the same one
always the same moon too

we talk about love, families, bears, shoes

tonight, you look different
though you walk the same
[ ]as if the sky’s omniscience would appease
[ ]that monster we know
tonight, you look the same

I’ve made a list of things I like about you

in the window, the war looms
its monster head obscures
imagination (some pictures, some frames)
[ ]in the window, my reflection
[ ]plus the moon

'love’ is a word written next to the skin
