Friday nights often lead to Saturday mornings

blue sheets and red hair

yawn and stretch
dress for the day

to shower or not
not

wear it all day
gladly infuse

my late arrival
couldn't have been more perfect

fast-forward:
java-goodwill-grocer
dressing-drinking-dining
laughing-smoking-freezing
sharing-learning-longing
texting and un-texting
sangria and cheesecake


Sunday
by 4:11
my breath slows
and I slip under bleached stars

the universe is a heavy thing
to carry on your back

tonight, it's on mine as well


we are beautiful
