lying by a woman without her makeup on
the morning sun doesn’t do her any favors
“he’s one to talk” mocked the mirror to the clock
mornings come returning us to our daily labors.
I dreamt last night I lost my father’s coast
in the pocket was the book I never wrote
and when I awoke she lay there in the light
a heroine of another book I’ll never write.
lying with a woman with the sun in her face
she says to me from a distant place
“your wallets on the shelf, the door locks itself”
morning comes turns the dust to glitter
but it’s alright for a little while
in the dusty light with a girl
who doesn’t smile
cos you couldn’t make her smile
