Happier Days
i want to sit in a tent on the outskirts of
lightly lapping and laughing tidal waves
to the sound of me and her cooking skits over
emboldened camp fire with two bears
who go through relationship trauma
and struggle to keep her
Harry Styles couldn't keep the girl
guitar slamming to the floor
in video-taped dramatics
the branches became gnarled roots
under consumer-esque book towers
crumble underneath the weight
of years with soil accumulation
but I always had her
will always have her
until long after we're gone.
