Rebirth #3

I’m in someone else’s sheets and I feel alive again.

I am counting down the seconds to the dream-states shattering;

I’m closing my eyes and wishing it here.

I’m gripping with my fingers and toes to all the softness that surrounds me now

But surrounds you always in swathes and swatches;

I’m keeping my mind numb to the things after

Today and

Today and

Today.

Let me rest my head on your pillow-chest always and I promise

I won’t move until it’s far past mid morning.
