Poems

Laura Theobald

I am not 
Long 
For 
The fields 
I once 
Was 
Happy like 
A mound 
Of 
Husks 
But 
Your name 
Stayed on 
Like 
An ambient sound 
And
When I kept 
Your house 
Key 
When 
I entered 
Your home 
When 
You weren’t 
There 
And took 
A few 
Things 
I was 
Just 
Kidding 
Luv 

 

 

 

I am 
Looking 
Forward 
To 
All the nice 
Fabrics 
That come 
With age 
And 
I plan on 
Taking 
A long 
Time 
To order 
Look at the way 
The ocean 
Sparkles 
When 
It is rained on 
Specifically because 
Of how 
You stopped 
Loving 
Me 

 

 

 

We 
Don’t 
Know how 
To 
Stop 
But I 
Surrender 
Luv 
You 
Are 
Alive 
And you 
Have 
Won 
I leave 
You all 
My 
Ships 
And 
Armies 
The sea 
Is for 
Lovers
