|
It's snaining outside |
|
Or is it just lazy rain |
|
It's six A |
|
M and I'm walking home |
|
While the city twitches |
|
In a sleep of dog dreams |
|
Me and a friend of mine |
|
We just cheated death |
|
Now I'm walking home |
|
For death's rain check |
|
I open the door quietly |
|
So as not to wake |
|
The blue-eyed wedding cake |
|
But she's watching me with one eye |
|
The sleepy little spy |
|
She helps me off with my shirt |
|
Because my arm was hurt |
|
In a recent fall |
|
I slide into the bed |
|
Then my leg |
|
I thread Between hers |
|
I put my good arm on her belly |
|
Her hips Her knees |
|
She is made of several babies |
|
I keep my scratchy cast to myself |
|
As I feel our bodies melt |
|
Into two drops of lazy rain |
|
Snaking down the window pane |
|
And when the two drops merge |
|
Then there is the surge |
|
Of one larger drop |
|
We move faster towards the sill |
