i wrote this on june 26th 2010 at 1:40 am. I must have been sitting at a bar by myself watching Chad’s band play. (or else awake in my apartment by myself.)
today, tonight.
this night already imprinted
this night
is two nights
to you
and thoughts pressing
eyelids
while pulsating steps
ache through feet
that are
from here
to already there.
a word
not left these lips
four hours before
a head tilted
as the weight
settles.
smiles
for the morning’s [a]wake.
