there's no

comfortable

way to sleep

anymore.


she's moved out,

no fault of our own.


she's moved out

and the bed is

too big.


the blankets she

left behind sit

there on her side

now.


I don't dare

touch them

and rustle

up their

settled dust.


tomorrow

I give up,

sleep in,

and wish

for a

rainstorm.


won't see her

till Monday

and by then

I'll be in even

bigger shit.


not with

her though.


never

with her.
