Too Sweet
Juice is too much of a good thing,
just eat the orange already. You spend hours on the internet looking for something to hurt you so you can feel something other than busy. Aubade In the heaven of the martyrs everyone gets what they deserve. For the rest of us, something more variable. You snore, I obsess – each to their own worst traits and if the debate leaves you unable to sleep for hours, at least I get a head start. Often when dawn teeters at the window you are coming to bed as I rise, the purple sky is the bruise of wanting: it fades quickly but I can still feel where I’ve pressed so hard the vessels of night burst beneath the surface. It may be we promised all of our time in order to find any time at all, net-fishing our chances to have some sort of life together before the gains are weighed. Let it be said, we deserve each other. |
