awfukit
The clouds shrug and move away.
My ears ring with the echo of your name.
Even the bare walls echo your name,
Like a next-door dog howls in frustration.
Our neighbor's dog doesn't howl in frustration
When the mailman argues with his phone.
He slips around the stoop on his phone
When I walk around the yard, my feet stained green.
Me, sweaty, no shirt, my feet stained green:
It's something you once called adorable
Before my drinking made me unadorable.
Drunk, I worked in the yard no matter the weather.
Sober now, I ignore the yard regardless of whether
The clouds shrug and move away.
