Charlotte Peale

there were triple moons last night and I thought of you
shit-faced by the river we exploded flaming moons
I saw your face in the river, and it tripled in the night
face the way those flames licked at the night, watch me watch you
three times I faced away from fire as you exploded into me
last night you thought of river moons and triples of me
flame-faced by the river we shat triple moons
there were triple you’s last night and I thought of moons
