i watched your cheeks flush, colored by an air from a calgary cold front your breath made ghosts spill into the night, and gather as if they might not disappear.
i had heard a rumor you were moving back home!
but even if it was true, i did not expect to hear it from you so bluntly.
so it hung in the air like a fever, or a slow moving front and i would not find shelter here, so i braced myself
\"out!\" i cried, \"out! are you running to or are you running from? or does it even matter if it won't change your mind?\"
