Wife


Short word
long last name
makes me fast asleep
and wakes my warmest parts.

Dying in life
relieves me of choosing
to be alone in my heart
alone in my bed.

I make the choice
to set sail
with a curtain-wrapped mast
perfect for crackling seas
that burn, like oils on the surface.

Catch my curtain
I’m drowning in you.
