It's Easy to be Loved When you Have Something to Give

poem by: Jerremy Kirby
Written on Sep 13, 2017

You're the constellation
But I have no telescope
Stars fall like broken glass
That hack my eight knot rope
When you decide to find the time
I'm waiting by the door
With a bullet lodged inside my mind
And this note lying on the floor
