Emily Perkins

Gennaio, Febbraio, Marzo

One of the things I like to do
is count the days to your return
on the international calendar
your girlfriend gave me.

Another one of the things I like to do
is say your name a lot
in conversation
and repeat stories that aren't mine.

I like to say ‘I miss him’
and have people figure
it's just that friendship of ours
they don't quite understand.

Sometimes one of the things I like to do
is kiss somebody new
in their parked car
while we're talking of you.
