Filling the Cup

Replenishing a Drunk Love Heart
~*~
Make sure to take long walks in the middle of the day
when no one is looking

Cry at the drop of a hat
then drink lots of water

Eat a PaPaYa

Breathe at stoplights

Stumble into a dry river bottom and find rocks
lit with faces of old men

Breathe in between stoplights

Let small children braid your hair

Watch the sunset more

Watch regrets less

and make no promises about going to sleep
