You Hold


We sit on your floor,
the carpet dappled with cigarette burns,
both of us as transparent
as your shirt from too much wear.

We drink warm Sunny D,
peel melted kit-kats from their slippery wrappers.
I could live on this meal or less.

You hold possibility
like a shiny glass bauble
my eyes transfixed by the oily glow.
