GARBAGE DAY

Garbage Day

You littered my mind

With memories

Sights and sounds draped on the walls

Scents and tastes spread on the floor

Touches of extinguished flames still burn

Photographs and mixtapes

Letters sealed with your generous lipstick

Every diner breakfast we spent laughing

About the lucid spinning graveyard we called home

Every sleepless night we spent talking 

About all things impossible to articulate

They all litter my mind

Liked used plastic bags and overgrown dust bunnies

You left me wondering, night by night,

Are you ever going to clean up your mess?
