25 Conant Street Provincetown, MA

Was it a rage vacation
when I went to P-Town
alone and got a tattoo
to protect me against all
sorcery and invited Eliza
up, paid for her ferry
and everything, just so
we could dump so much
break-up wine on the white
blanket of the tiny Airbnb
and then stay up all night
trying to quietly wash it
in the shower?
