Fresh Press

Fresh pressed words like
leaving lovers if they
never come back
they were never yours

drainage pipes leak your
lucky stars down until
they reach the sea
now horizon bound

old man on an island
picks them up and reads
the lines you lost and
takes them for his own

carefully count the lines you
write for you never know
that if you tumble or fall
you could lose them all
