You realize the only thing keeping us apart
is two inches of steel
miles of paperwork
an alibi
a character witness
a jury of people not my peers
the depth, to wit, I fucking love you
and your breath on my nose like wind's afterthought
that reminds me we are not alone today.
Reminds me I do not know
what I would be
without the shoes you helped me buy
instead of another murder suicide.
