Open The Car Door So We Can See (for Bethany Jo)

we sat in your friends car
you got high as I took shots of whiskey
the countdown was led by drunken boys
we couldnt see their faces
but could hear them correct each other
on the numbers
"10, 9, 8- no wait!",
"6, 5, you fucked it up-"
they yelled at each other
I dont even think we cared
that it was a new year
because we missed the
countdown and kissed each other at
12:10 am
 instead of men
and as our lips met,
I forgave you for
sleeping with him
and you forgave me for
caring.

When They Say Repent

Lovers lay
entertwined
and I am the sheet
they are making love
on.
