quarters
raze
you
turn
from
your
back
onto
your
side
,
cold
and
chasing
sleep
,
and
your
bedsprings
make
a
sound
,
but
you
think
it's
your
shoulder
.
the
right
one
.
it
sounds
just
like
loose_change
. quarters.
you're
sure
of
it
.
so
sure
you
can
see
those
silver
circles
in
the
dark
, catching
what
little
light
there
is
.
every
time
you
reach
for
a
drink
of
water
,
you
feel
that
currency
shiver
,
and
you
wonder
how
much
nickel
-plated steel
lives
in
you
,
forgotten
and
unspent.
