The draughts blew cold under the door

As we threw our clothes on the kitchen floor

The broccoli boils in a pan on the gas stove where we stand

Won’t you take this spatula in your hand

Out on the roof over the havoc streets

With the sky a blanket each sweet kiss

So melodramatic embroidered by shadow
