Day 14

Lying awake at 12.33am, 'feeling vomity' and listening to you sleep


Your stomach made a noise like a wet fish
slapping against a wet deck,
like an empty bucket filling with water,
like a bullet fired against a rubber band.

I felt as if I only had to press my face against yours,
only had to feel your hot breath on my cheek
to push back the sliding door of your unconscious,
and waltz, uninvited, into your dreams.
