i just wanted to write

rain
brown eyes
warm wine

tonight
all the lights are shining
from the freeway the city looks like a sultan's gift
to a bride who refuses him

all those inhabitants
they all wear off on my skin
i come home smelling of
man
and
woman

i just wanted to write

the weather that makes me sad
leaves me loving the place
i was unsure of

i just wanted to write

thankful tonight
for

rain
brown eyes
warm wine
