Look I don’t know
about getting
things back
a woman stands
in a room
& it’s winter
she sees herself
there are 3 hot things
to tell her lover
soon the day
changes shape
not this bird
but it’s different
the box stays
the room in her head
soon both heat
& winter are gone
I want to live
in my thoughts
of you, I believe
in you like a door
that returns
