You didn’t answer my question though

 

  For my sins I live in Melbourne
Where love is For all but
Only A suggestion.
Will These Failures
  grow Meaning through repetition
  ?
 
I keep seeing your face-painted
concern, when I Spill
my drink almost

I don’t know you. I am nothing
if not decorative; the cold excuses
my shaking hands. I can’t roll, and our
smiles haunt the flame, cold to warm and back.
