the sun is a secret legend in the dark
on nowhere’s edge
the blinds let in
a runner
of moonlight
like some old movie
we forgot we loved again
the deep regularity
of your breathing
tells me you
may really be asleep
our neighbors are
trees
branches on windows
and tongues
against the gin
writing and writing
i am numb with
silent noise
you roll in
to me
and i
am lost
