Girlfriends Need Each Other
I am the fence
I let her see my holes
We discuss them at length
And hers mine.
My chair at a slight angle;
Instead of my coffee sip,
A torch lights my lips -
A flying insect in
Whose space I breathe.
It’s cool.
I wear my sweatshirt
And my jeans. My work’s
Inside. Friends need
Each other, to spill
For a spell. Her labs
Like lions alongside
A lawn chair throne.
I tell her so
And so much more.
Two hours like robins
Settle in and fly so fast.
Burnt orange underside,
Perched beaks
And precious few as these.
