Indoors

by Selen Ozturk

The directest fun in life lasts
less than half a minute at best
I'd give in if you’d just lie there
I wish my dad were in your body
only during the daytime
I'd eat your socks to be a memory
of anything but that

You make me feel there's no indoors
nor more than a few new days
What returns and will always return to me
isn't much
