So thank you

Sometimes I feel so itchy, like everything underneath my skin is too large and I need to run or stretch it out. Then I think of a hand--yours--on my back and I convince myself into calm.

Keys that Jangle

The neighbor is leaving again at 10:47 p.m. as I hear his keys jangle when he locks the door behind him.
I pretend he is you leaving to come see me every time.
