i vibrate

the way i do after

every time you’ve been here

i cling to it, snuggle in

even as you pad

to the bathroom

silhouetted against the light

the way i sillouhette

against life

i’m here, not gone,

i existed

see the things i made

see the things i love

see me last or first

i don’t care

you climb in

pull me close

somehow i know its both—

our oroborous

we fortify

soon the alarm

soon the cat

soon the coffee

and soon

the seeing you in sunlight

seeing you smile

thinking already

‘how soon this place again?’
