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
