The only things are bitter
words and politics and cold
blue sky aching tired and
purring under a warm river of
chocolate and chamber music
reading and resting warmly
wrapped in the things we used
to love how they lifted and
lightened our troubles until
they merely floated away like
feverish dreams and poetry
winter and absinthe inspire
and so that’s all I able to give
to you but at least you knew
it was always almost true
