See friends after a long stretch
A stranger followed me
The blare of four firetrucks didn't wake me
Twice this week:
Walked long distances for lack of money
Fell asleep with the light on
Had to be very quiet
Three times this week:
Overslept by 20 minutes
Drank a beer
The blue light on dark curtains
Every day hand in hand and head to cheek
Not second-guessing, deep exhale, sleep
-KM
over the week, passed quickly
while the weekend passed slowly
and i dreamed of a big room
in a big house with stairs and windows
i woke up on the seventh day
next to you and i didn't feel tired.
i cooked dinner for a family
for two nights, we sat around a white table.
over the week my thoughts scattered
and i reminded myself:
don't worry, clear your mind
and spent time with my art and my friends
i walked around and then to
all the important parts of my life.
