Rupicola

The carpet was gray

There was a microwave

 a television and a lamp 

made of a man and woman embracing 

The birds sounded like sirens 

Screaming 

We ate rice noodles with our hands

From the cups we bought coffee in earlier

The last of our money we spent on the train

Auckland glows purple at night 

The cars are small

And the people have thin eyes

We watched a movie about a boy and and a girl who fell in love

In the end the girl died

I cried for two hours afterwards

You cried for ten minutes
