I crave the slippery

satin sheets

that smell like your conditioner

11 pm day dreams bring me

to last fall,

crunching red and yellow

tie-dyed apples,

the sun stares ominously

at the mushy “ground apples”, rotting

I imagine us standing, four feet in a row

skin touching skin

my eyes on your missing button

your eyes on the fogged sky

you skip stones

across shattering glass

I pray that you’re showing off

(you’ve impressed me for a long

time, darling)

I crave pillowcases filled with

pillows filled with

puffin feathers,

I wake

from a nightmare

delighted, you’re still there
