Ouroboros
Sleep
tight
my
love
.
The
night
holds
us
,
cradling
flesh
and
bones
dreams
and
hopes
.
I
lie
on
my
back
and
pretend
that
if
I
slipped
my
head
out
the
window
I
could
see
the
canopy
of
stars
.
Dawn
bleeds
its
light
and
pretending
is
over
.
You
have
rolled
on
your
side
facing
away
from
me
as
you
always
do
.
How
can
you
sleep
blissfully
through
the
ruins
of
the
morning
?
Must
I
witness
the
concrete
of
our
cityscape
in
this
early
unflattering
light
alone
,
again
?
