travelin'

hello again somerville
i missed your gutter punks
with soccer balls for pant seats

somerville, I get you between my toes
overbear me with your heat, noise, cultural clamour
suffocate me, forearms against my head
picking your grit from teeth
wiping your ash from feet
banging my suitcase
up your narrow staircase

somerville
i’m very small
wrap me
hide me
stick me in your hippest closet
or hang me out, dry
droplets of dye
runoff, run off.
flipping into the charles
