the sun teases
from behind the clouds
it is warm today
and i am in a mood
run down from
constant movement
lack of sleep in
a different hotel
each week as i
miss people that
couldn’t give
a shit where
i am brooding today

i oscillate
between wanting to
watch the world
burn with greasy
black smoke wafting
and wanting to
be held for just
a little while
until this storm
passes by like
all the others before

two days
then home
one week to
virginia
and i all i want
is to murmur
my love to
her vacant heart
and sleep until july
but like most
everything
we seldom get
the things
we wish for
just the echo
of unsated desires
and a lack of
good sleep
