With original denim
colored eyes
still seeking,
she puts her obsession with death

of punk music
to rest. Silent influences
to speak of
alone together. Another sip

of a double shot
espresso in a true demitasse
cup to stay—
and so she loves

more than one city
these days. No ranking. Even in April
sleet and slush, she leans
toward jean not leather

jackets. But still leather
boots over canvas flats.
