You Open Me
by
Jeff Stonic
you open me present
tense I grip glass jars tighter
over asphalt than grass or was that
sod I’m tired but my breath is
precious petrichor I smell the
rain you fell through to land before
me I only pray for sun
after counting my monthly spending on cigarettes I found a pack unopened on the gas
station pavement I never knew marlboros could make a case for the existence of god
vows are cover songs of prayers
answered and I will answer to
yours before god or sod my golden
rod if I fall first leave my eyes open
