new

sniffing says my room smells
vaguely
of you --
but it's (probably) placebo eyeballs

was woken sharply
by your
hiccuping/
arms/
though the curtains are pulled over to keep us asleep

there's an inherent sadness about you
that I like;
that concerns me
...
most because I fear I could exacerbate it
but I guess that's still, en route, for your sake ?

When we see each other, we see another time and place.
