By Charlotte Bouilloux
we’ll meet again in Scotland in our thirties
reminisce about life pre-Covid
pre- the heartbreaks and essays and hard work
we’ll write together
revel in the art of collaboration
add autotune to it
share the songs we were afraid to show
ourselves, put words to verses and stanzas
i’ll say i don’t give a fuck about confessional poetry anymore,
you’ll say i don’t believe you
and that’s fine i’ll reply
i’ll keep it to myself and save a seat for you
on the train.
