I woke up
with blood under
my nails
Sleep made
no impression
on an inner ache.
Sun high
It's a Friday
I'm late.
Hands wrapped around
a latte
I wish for you
to assuage me
ease the stink about me
of unrequitedness.
Hands don't love back,
I know.
I want to be with you
Any you
Just me and you and the clear airplane sky
On the balcony, it's a clear night
and you compare my broken body
to the falling stars
Stars explode
where I lie
I'm on the edge
a million times
that night
You push me twice.
I wake up
with your blood
under my nails
You stretch so lazily, feline.
"Look," you say.
"Airplane sky is here tonight."
