Hoodie

i like the way your hoodie smells.
it's essence of you in the rawest sense
so tonight i'll face a nightmares' swells,
with the dark green fabric as my only defense.

i'm not sure what you mean to me
we're friends at least, or something more
but wood becomes ashes and light becomes heat
and tomorrows another open door

the twilights late this time of year
and maybe God gets a joke at our expense
this feels like magic and smells like cheer
as i've got hands and face right up to the fence

i like the way your hoodie smells.
it's essence of you in the rawest sense
so tonight i'll hope i dream of you
with the dark green fabric as my only defense.

lennie.
