Heavily

A dirty moon sits at the end of the number 7 train track. It’s 2:30 in the morning but the heat still sits heavily on my chest.

I can't stop thinking of the boyfriend. I remember Whitman. “For the friend I love lay sleeping by my side. In the stillness his face was inclined toward me, while the moon's clear beams shone.”
