you told me it's not healthy to drink
by yourself, so I opened a new one
to drink for us both.
When my eyes shut, you said,
"Don't bother coming home."
Half asleep, I said, "This is my house,
and we don't live together."
You said, "In the morning I'll be gone."
In the dark I laughed and said
"I know, but when you get off work
come see me again."
You slept, I hiccuped, and the rain
filled my car. I bit my tongue
to keep from singing
then I slept too.
