Ashes: Sidewalk

I have used you as a crying shoulder. Your harsh coldness complemented my sadness, and you added drama to a mundane misery. I have fallen on you. Trying to walk, soaked in liquor; you left marks on my skin when you slapped me with your jagged edges.

I like you when you are in the shade, cool and smooth on a hot day. Like that length of you that runs outside his door. I like to walk there. You accommodate me when I skip and spin and stand on the tip of my toes so I can kiss his cheek.
