i plead with my
stomach to at least
keep down the coffee
as i try not to
stick
to my space at the counter.
i need the caffeine.
long night? why yes, it
was. is. nights blend
into days into
nights i cannot
remember. it matters
less and less that i
can't, or didn't sleep.
i broke us both a
week ago
and hit
the pavement trying to shake
the chasm
you left
in me
this morning i watched
first the fog come in
and then dissipate as
my car worked the
curves in the road.
i drove to remember,
or forget—
never chose.
