A Park In Chicago

A Park In Chicago

A Poem by emily joe

It was the crank of the chain
That sent rust to my fingertips
I smoked it slower
But always to the line

We pretended it was 1998
And we were Wynona Rider voodoo dolls
I placed pins in your elbows
I'm sorry
But I had to see you dance

If it wasn't for the buttered rum in my nose
I'd have forgotten to look up
To see green against gray

Looking at the streams of unlikely pigments molding like windowsill cacti 
I have a feeling... it will all be okay
