at 4:40 a.m. I had hallucinations

that every time you kissed me the world

burned a different color

I rolled over and played morning music

it was 7:21 a.m. and you were

laying there saying you had slept a hardy

30 minutes

and I thought I have turned you into something beautiful

you usual long-night rester leaving me to my neuroticism

post-10 p.m.

lounging in bed

we agreed that certainly every day should start

this way

Lovely, don't be terrified of me

I've barely had time to trickle down into

your palms from your brain

your finger prints don't quite scream

I HAVE LOST CONTROL

just yet

we are still two distinct planets

I orbit you you orbit me
