some adjustments mask
some adjustments mask
the pain better than others –
how the mind goes from
setting one to setting two
or three is all in the wrist

the radiator
the radiator
is trying out a brand new
toccata in the
key of rise and shine this morning,
careful not to wake the neighbors

between comforter
between comforter
and fitted sheets, you sneaky
bloodsucker – taking
latitude with the ripest,
juiciest parts of my sleep

three mosquito bites
three mosquito bites
into a summer’s night, i’m
cranking up the air
conditioning to hide beneath
the comforter – i can’t breathe

i am mostly afraid
i am mostly afraid
of having to call it
harassment –
i see you coming
and pull out
headphones,
knowing still
that you won’t
stop until you
get an answer –
naming something
gives it breath,
and once again,
damned if you do
damned if you don’t

the same heart carries
awakening to
awakening to
the sound of your
voices calmly giving
direction at the end
of the world
from the front
stoop, i suddenly
have a bone to
pick with you –
why now and why
when the bedsheets
have found that
uneasy summertime
balance between
cozy and cool?
trying to take
one last drag
of sleep’s silver
screen cannot
undo the effects
of this blunt
resentment
