Sorry About the Black Swan

Napowrimo day 4, poem 5/30. Couldn't resist going back to the list of spaceship names. I might need to do more of these.

Sorry About the Black Swan

for Carolina

Sorry about midnight

when I didn't kiss you

since you were drunk.

We slept on the floor

apart. Sorry about the thong

I wore, the presumption.

Sorry about the book

of fairytales on your birthday

and a notebook, about

thinking us the same.

Sorry about seeking you

after just one sight.

Sorry about my vow

to do something each day

that scared me. Sorry

about the Black Swan

and the gumption it gave

me, the confession

I pulled from my skin

like feathers. Alone

that night I arabesqued

to your favorite song.
