NaPoWriMo 9 2017

It's been far too long

since we've left the windows

open at midnight and

even though the scenery

has changed and the 

neighbors are much closer

(they can hear everything

we do or say anyway)

let's leave the window open

tonight and watch all the

leaves waltzing in,

thinking they're the new

hip sort of flower petals.

Then while Time ticks

away the stars can 

light up your face

as we find ourselves

in the pieces of each other -

it's been way too long

since we've done this.
