day 28 from february by hemlock

kumquat tree in ur backyard
forbidden fruit that hits me hard
it’s just like I thought it would be
tucked away so perfectly
on Curtis street
a month ago
you moved in as I played a show your house was warmed but mine so cold
all our friends were there as I drove home alone from New Orleans

I still haven’t been inside
a symbol of how different our lives
are from how i thought it’d be
a home separate from memories

with a kumquat tree in the backyard
forbidden fruit that hits me hard
it’s just like I thought it would be
but I’m not there
you’re not with me
on Curtis street
