A wide and softly alluring come hither cliche —
I won’t do it —
But it is there
I’m sober, I’m not
She’s not, closing at work…
I’m forgetting something,
again.
or
interrupting
again.
It is sad –
and now I am at a loss
for the beautiful &
appropriate TRUTH
to the lady sleeping
heaving in trusting
newly deep rest
with peace of me
& I wait to be there
and goodnight.
