in the office backyard
how beautiful it is
to share a moment, a memory, a pizza, a smile,
how the sentences sound more coherent than they are
how the words feel more intoxicating than the joint
how the faces blur
like they haven’t seen any clearer
how impossible it feels now
to forget that we forgot everything for a second
and broke down laughing
how contagious the giggle, how delicate, how piercing,
how eager i am
to gamble it all this moment
and break down that exact way all over again
and again
we look at one another
as if we’ve got a forever together
and how it doesn’t matter if we’ve not
how the night rolls so much light into itself despite the darkness
how it knows the magic trick
how i get up from the stairs,
lookup at the moon, wink a smile
how he knows everything
how i wish you knew too.
