swing our legs over the sides and to the floor
or watch the sun come up and into this room
to move across the walls and over our heads
while we hide in the sheets, and we don't speak
of "where have you been?
and we don't sleep so well anymore."
we just tell ourselves to leave alone.
if i said, "this is how things will be
in the morning," would you leave?
well, this is how things well be.
