away to Paris | poem

poetry

*This is a hearts desire poem written from Paris, France

Soon you will return from Paris with conversation

about why you feel so tired. And left me here in the first place.

-

Once back, I will hold you by a door wide open

until hand luggage is carried across wooden floorboards.

scents of Chanel remind me

of a woman who’d do anything to survive a time of war.
