OPEN AIR

The Hawk Queen Bed 12:10am
I can hear The Open Air
breathing through Our Bathroom Window
— Its off The Bedroom —
I can go to sleep
dreaming of The Waves
& My established friendship
with The Night

Dark Garment
The night is a gown
Newly washed, unfolded and
Pulled over my head
Thank you for this, Ben. It’s beautiful.
Rather, thank *you*.
