Blue

Cheap wine, roses, and after shave. I painted my fingernails blue like your eyes.

I wore my new boots. You wore your dark red tie. The tears tasted salty, were they yours or mine?

It was midnight, I remember now.

My boot was on the floor, my body on the sofa. Your blue eyes brimmed with tears.

When I woke I didn't know, but now I do. I'm dead.

I'm lost in between nowhere and your home.
