A recorded reading of “Porchlight Sugar”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Porch light, winter glitter; you smile; I play slow. Steam curls from our coffee— you hum; I shape an ‘oh’. You say, keep it tender; I nod. Let it flow. Sleeves hide shaky fingers; street hum warms our skin. Words lean close like music, a moth commas the light— I breathe; you lean in. stay so near say it clear Cheap ring, cherry fingerprint; snow freckles the glass. Boot prints write our story; time learns not to pass. You say, answers fray at the edges— I laugh; let that last. Snare snaps—nerves settle. Keys rain soft and slow. Your name rings like cymbal— I move where you go. No mask tonight— choose wrong or right. Porch light sugars the snow. stay so near say it clear

Porch light, winter glitter You smile, I play slow Steam curls from our coffee You hum, I say oh You say, keep it tender I nod, let it flow Sleeves hide shaky fingers Street hum warms our skin Words lean close like music I breathe, you lean in stay so near say it clear Cheap ring, cherry fingerprint Snow freckles the glass Boot prints write our story Time learns not to pass You say, no neat answers I laugh, let that last Snare snaps, nerves settle Keys rain soft and slow Your name rings like cymbal I move where you go stay so near say it clear No mask tonight Choose wrong or right stay so near say it clear stay so near say it clear
