" I might move closer"
in another time another place
I would do differently
I might look around the room
for orientation
move my body
beneath the shape of sheet and blanket
to feel warmth all over
roll to the side
gaze for a moment
move closer
make contact
close my eyes again
it's almost six o'clock in the morning
I will rise
trek to the shop for coffee and the paper
let cold breeze caress my face
before the sun peers
above the rooftops
a shiver and a cigarette
are an early start to a long day
but in another place and time
I might move closer
