Ode to the 19th

I never really liked my name much

until I found out what it tastes like

being sighed into my lips

from yours

or that I much prefer it

heavily breathed onto my neck

when you have nothing else to say

and the sheets are a mess of

drunk, sloppy kisses

perfectly placed back-handed compliments

and

the kind of love I used to write about
