you should try

melatonin:

to stay

in your plushness

wrapped in morning

—really, afternoon—glow,

don’t leave:

behind soft

polyester worn thin and

glasses from eighth grade

and foul-mouthed laughter

soiled by the sleep

that now bleeds through my

fingers, lured into the unforgiving

morning.
