NOW

Christopher

Now, we’re the dynamic

duo, standing

near the doors,

enlightening

the zombies

shopping

blindly,

unaware,

like I was

before

Annabelle.

Now, we’re a force

that can’t be

ignored,

the two of us

so close,

two flyers

coming at them,

two bodies

to sidestep

or stare

down.

Now, when our fingers

freeze, we reach

for each others’

and feel the heat

flow back in

through

our gloves.

Now, if only I could forget

what we’re really

doing here.
