Like a sukkah for my heart
Preternaturally oh how you
Sang to me in sweet tones
Like only you can do and
You apologized and said
You had to make them sound
Sweet and soft like a mouse
I was just looking forward
To spending any kind of time
With you and the evening was
Beholden to our greatest
Escape where I brought
A bag of books and one
Of them yours for you to
Hold and to enjoy you
With yourself how precious
You were excited to
See how I carried you
With me and then we were
Off into the living room where
Before we stepped out the
Door I found you covered
In dark blue glitter like a
Night sky so sparkling
Your hair draped as a
Waterfall down around
You and the new memories
Awaiting us that we were
Creating also ones I couldn’t
Wait to wake up from
Still I pulled you along the
Floor playfully resting on
A featherweight blanket
Laughing and smiling
Unbelievably to tell this
Story with a grin on my chin
There had been several sad
Unexpected days of
Embittered forlorn work
Casually strolling out jaded
From my bedroom with an
Ex lover that I had also
Once married and lived in
Several cities with I
Turned back to see how
We left the bed
I recalled looking at her
Like my life was a
Distant dark echo to
Itself and also the
Circus of climbing
Over one another
On the bed while
Still sleeping
In a way where we could never
Simply find rest and comfort
Not a sheet on it
We even stood up
Completely clothed
And two tiny strips of
Rectangular cloth on the
Mattress with a single
Dot of blood on each
What could that possibly
Mean? As if we were also
Running behind for the day
Even now there was pressure
A grand piano
In the living room
I couldn’t remember the last
Time I woke up with where
Already people were awake in the
House my best friend acting
As secretary to my once
Dark sky glittered friend
She was in charge of
Taking care of assistant
Things which included some
New set of twins I had never met
And her hair was very different
But the shower was calling
I knew that I had been
Requested to cut a gentleman’s
Hair a friend of a friend
Shower first but not
Without rushing because
Inevitably there was
Something waiting for me
To do or finish even
Before I had fully finished
Greeting the day
Building a nest
For tomorrow
