The Last Night in July

13 3 2
                                    

We sat in the garden with

The pink grey clouds

Of evening overhead and

Cracked slabs below,

The grill embers glowing.

With full stomachs we

Kicked back and talked shit,

Me listening to stories

Of cheese and bonsai, of

Tattoos, bikes and dead hens.

After, we drank weissbier and

Smoked Paolo's weed,

Laughing about the old days

As‎ Plant howled ‎'It's

Nobody's fault but mine.'

And when I thought

About that, and as I listened

To them talk, I missed her,

And I missed you more,

And I wondered if it was

Really true and, deciding

It probably was, I wondered

If you would still hold me.
