1200

the dog chewed through
velvet and our taxed sun

you rolled over
and said I never thought
I’d wake up again

every place and every
piece of green shimmering
with your return

some heavy nights
with your heart
listening to its own
noises

and some days
you watched the lizards
hide in the stone
above the garage

with your hair up
you said
don’t you think I could use
a thing or two to pass the day
