⬆️ It’s because you drive me, and it feels like artificial respiration, mouth to mouth.

⬆️ maybe it would be easier if a missile just hit our apartment in Kyiv and that was it. Of course I think it. But I’m ashamed.
Because of you, I read about the subjunctive mood in English grammar.
Because of you, I’ve enrolled in university again, even though I’m thirty-eight and it’s too late.

and that trip to the mountains almost here — so close,
and yet this week just keeps dragging on and on,
on and on.
That’s the forever I want with you.
To live through it entirely
every damn day,
every minute,
every second
to bite into it,
devour it,
tear it out for ourselves
and live it together.

⬆️ and then stand in line for twenty minutes,
because every woman there has already had her beer and come to pee.
The kind of forever that feels like the last workweek before New Year’s —
three online meetings at the same time on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday,
four unfinished projects,⬇️

⬆️ and you’re in a swimsuit: light-pink bottoms and a dark-blue top, not the other way around.
Not that other forever, when the bottoms are dark-blue.
No — the one where they’re light-pink,

and you’re dying of thirst,
and there’s one swallow of water left in the bottle —
