All the snores from the last night have stuck to the walls

Nothing could shut the noise out

I’ll be home late. Get some sleep.

Attempting to break out of the back yard

Staring at each other, we were exchanging some signal

This was not a place where a child got up at night to ask for a glass of water

He seemed genuinely surprised

I have always tried to avoid pain

That was the only beautiful thing I ever had

He said the sweetest things to me

Only the last part was true
