WHY WE SAY good morning is to show we escaped the dark house of sleep the beckoning of its false lights its moat of silence brimming with chemistry drawn from the hearts of bears and for now we are back to front with each other in a naked room moving in grateful slowness with another good chance of rising in the way we fell asleep through passion me turning to you or you to me the perilous night back of us it falls behind farther and forever each skin is finally escaped to the other and the dark the silence is gone again is gone again
